Too late?

Well, I know my last post was mid December just after Simon's birthday, and since I didn't get a Christmas post out very promptly, I debated even doing one. However, that just seemed wrong. I couldn't skip Christmas. So a few weeks later, here is a brief recap.

We celebrated the weekend before with Todd's family at Three Bears Lodge in Warrens, WI. I've only been to a couple places in the Dells, but I really think this place is just as fun at least in the winter. It was great for the ages of kids- my oldest nephew is 7 down to baby Malachi (my nephew who was born Nov 23)- he didn't swim though! The adults enjoyed the water slides and outdoor hot tub too. Here is the best picture I could get of all the grandkids and Papa and Nana. Sometimes the memory of trying to capture the picture is better than the picture itself.

We then had a week at home that was busy with getting ready for another Christmas. Early in the week, we went to my Grandma's apartment building to visit Santa. Simon even sat on his lap.

That weekend we went to church and celebrated with my parents and Sarah and Kevin (via Skype) with supper and presents. Christmas morning and day were spent playing with new toys and just being together as a family. I had many reminders this year of just how blessed we are. God has given us so much, but the best gift of all is Jesus!

Here are a couple more pictures of the kiddos- they are so cute together.
