Christmas Cheer 2012

Christmas came and went so quickly in our house!  We had a wonderful time and the kids were so happy.  We had Marc's family over and it was a really nice visit and our little house was packed to the gills with food, fun, and family. 

I received my new camera (thanks, Marc!!!) just before Christmas and it's surely an upgrade from the last one...still working out the learning kinks.  And there are a bunch of kinks for me to learn! 

Claire and I both were given the gift of the stomach flu Christmas night, so that affected our "time off."  Marc hardly gets ANY time off, and the vacation days that he is forced into taking often fall in bewtween Christmas and New Year's.  So hopefully we can make up the time during his next vacation time.  Which will happen in 6 months.  Blech.

Here are some pictures from the big day and the days leading up to it!  We were given a healthy dose of snow and the kids have been loving it.  Jack has really enjoyed teaching Claire all about sledding and the wonders of snow.  He is such a great brother.
