It's been a fun week of family gatherings and celebrations; although getting some good pictures of the events proved to be a bit of a challenge. I guess this is to be expected when 4 out of the 7 cousins are between the ages of 3 and 4.
Before church on Christmas Eve.
The Elf, Fred, made several appearances this month. Conrad seemed to sort of adopt Fred as a little buddy. On Christmas Eve, Conrad broke the rule that the Elf was not to be moved in order to spend more time with him. He was found wrapped in Conrad's favorite blanket because he was cold, he was found in the corner because he was in trouble, he took an afternoon nap with Conrad, and finished off his last night with us in his own chair to eat cookies and watch The Grinch before bed.
Santa came.
Merry Christmas!
