Our crazy christmas

It seems as our family grows the more christmas is all about the kids and being with family. This year is no exception. This month has been filled with a family trip from my sister's family, and a nasty stomach flu bug that made it's rounds through our house, and the crazy busy-ness of christmas shopping. We set up a lovely christmas tree and even made it through Josiah's first christmas program at church. Christmas day this year will be cram packed with not only our own families presents at home, but then dinner at my folk's house then we still have to go to my husband's parents house that evening to open presents. Does the craziness ever end? I really dislike being pulled in 3 directions on christmas day when I would just really love to spend it at home. Ah.. maybe someday.
Anyway, enjoy the lovely pictures of the christmas program, the christmas ships in downtown portland, making christmas cookies, and fun family pics.
