Christmas!

Despite a stomach bug, not much sleep, and taking a friend to the hospital with a broken leg, Christmas was wonderful- made even more so by the surprise snowy day!

 

Christmas Eve crazies!

 The twins got marmalade from Daddy- yay for Sunday afternoon tea time!

Elvish doings

 The only thing Anne really wanted for Christmas was summer sausage. :)

The cousins got along remarkably well overall I thought!

 Tirzah and Berea asked for hard hats so they could be "worker girls" in the new workshop Christian set up in the old shed. Thanks Auntie Faith and Uncle Gary!

 And pickles! Admittedly, we are odd parents to give the kids pickles, sausage, marmalade, etc. But also admittedly, the kids are happy with the crazy gifts we give them! :)

And Grace got a new bird for Christmas! Bombur thought that he (Ebenezer) was a Christmas present for him, but now that they're separated again, he is more friendly and brave than before!
