All three

All three kids sat on Santa's lap this year. 

But one might be too big next year. In fact, maybe she was this year?

Eli blessed everyone with his "singing" (yelling) of Go tell it on the Mountain, followed by Twinkle Twinkle, then ABC's.

We saw many many of our friends and family this year, which was an awesome gift. 

Aaaand, our kids were spoiled this year with gifts from all their loving grandparents, aunts and uncles, especially from Florida, and not to forget the big guy Santa, who managed to bring Sophie BOTH the dinosaur bone she requested: a frill bone from a triceratops dug up as a fossil in South Dakota AND a bag of foreign currency from all over the world. Sophie looked at me and said, "This just couldn't be from you, Mom!" And I said seriously, "No, it couldn't." Because it wasn't. Don't you love the spirit of Christmas? And the magic of Facebook? The love of co-workers who have moms who just love kids and Christmas that much?

Santa rocks.

People rock.

God's people rock.

Our church celebrated Christmas in amazing ways, both simple and extraordinary. Christ coming to Earth for us when we needed him most. You just never get too old for that.
