Merry Christmas!

What a wonderful holiday we have had- it means so much to have the boys home and to be together!

Our wonderful children Christmas morningOur living room Christmas Eve after the gifts were put out and the stockings filled (and you can see the Minerva Tichert painting Christ in the Red Robe I got for Christmas - thanks, Santa!)
Taylor modeling her Christmas PJs
Johnathan has a December birthday and this is the stocking that he was photographed in as a newborn 19 years ago. Here is a shot with Taylor modeling his stocking and Johnathan is in a makeshift stocking himself!

Johnathan's gift to Taylor - an Appalachian State University T-shirt!
Water flutes from Taylor
opening gifts is a bit tiring! got to love Urban Outfitters

Jordan's djembe drum

Eban's new chew toy

Santa brought Taylor a Svan high chair - these are great because they become a toddler chair and stool later. And we love the game "Ticket to Ride!" - thanks Bancrofts for introducing it to us and thanks to the Hughes cousins for giving it to us.
