I really love to celebrate. Probably not as much with huge crowds or really big parties but with fun traditions that we look forward to each year. We've tweaked our celebration of Jesus' birth each year and will continue to do so, but we have some traditions that are great fun: Read the "Story of Christmas" and do that last Jesse Tree ornament, gifts for each of us (lovingly wrapped, see the photos), breakfast of Daddy's specialty pancakes, playtime together, and dinner with "spicy juice" followed by some birthday cake.

As normal as we get...
A few of my favorite memories from this year: Jonathan's absolute delight at preparing gifts for others and carefully wrapping them (three hours of wrapping is some focused wrapping!). Caleb and Jonathan's excitement about the Jesse Tree and reading each night. Caleb: "I wike the wights a wot."
