How long has it been? (Will posting)

Is Christmas over already? It is one of those holidays where months (or weeks) of planning and excitement are all over when a 3 year old opens his and his brother's presents in all of about 15 minutes. Of course I am exaggerating a little but we had a great Christmas. Zack's description of what he wanted reminded me of the movie A Christmas Story where Ralphie tells everyone what he wants for Christmas really fast you can barely hear him. Zack wanted, and I quote, "A green Buzz Lightyear with white helmet and plastic wings." (see video)

We started the holiday at my parent's house. It was a nice setting with Paul and Bree's family and Rikki's family. We missed Audrey, Jessica and Joel this year. We read the nativity and the cousin children acted it all out. Zack was thrilled because Bree brought costumes and he got to be a King (wise man) and a Shepherd. Kelly and I got a new camera from my parents so we have no excuse not to have good pictures. If it is ok with everyone, I think I will let the pictures do the rest of the talking. Hope this finds everyone in good health and spirits.
