I just love Christmas. This year I took the whole week off of work and we spent lots of time seeing family and friends, shopping, and of course eating!
Here's a picture of me, my cousin Sunny, and our Nana Lee.
Here's a picture of my brother, Scott, and me.
And Peanut with her cousin Piper.
Here are my pseudo-nephews. Max, the little one, has the greatest face ever in this picture - he's holding the Bat Man that we gave him!
Peanut also spent one afternoon putting together a gingerbread house - from a kit of course.
Here's a picture of Timothy with his new hat and Toula in her party dress!
And I love watching the kids open their gifts. We have a tradition that Peanut and Boo each receive 3 Christmas gifts from us. This tradition is to somewhat remind us of the gifts of the Magi for the Christ Child... and put some limit to the madness. Both Peanut and Boo are very aware of where their presents are under the tree. This only heightens the fun.
Jesus is SO wonderful and we are so blessed.
Merry Christmas Everyone!

The Hunt for the Tree
We have a lovely family tradition of cutting down our Christmas tree just after Thanksgiving. This year the weather was so warm it seemed that we were in the Carolinas instead of Minnesota.
This tradition is especially fun as we go on our trek to locate the newest Larsen Christmas tree along with our dear friends, the Fries.
Here's a picture of the Fries:
