Christmas Day

The title should actually be "Christmas Day After Church" We woke up early and went to a different catholic church than our usual one, because they had an early mass. Our regular church did not have their early mass on Christmas this year, but we knew we weren't going to be able to separate the kids from the tree if we didn't go to church before they opened gifts. Dan took some pictures of the kids at church, but they are on his phone. I'll post those when I get them.

Christmas Eve

These pictures were taken on Christmas Eve. The kids got to open one present and it had to be the gifts that they got for each other.

Midori got Keiko a stuffed panda bear.

Jack got Midori a stuffed dog.

Keiko got Jack the fish pillow.

The Other Side of the Christmas Card

May you have a mostly peaceful holiday season!

Sledding at Church

Well, not exactly during the mass, but we did sled after the mass. The title maybe should be "Sledding after church on the back hill". Anyway, we had fun and also rosy cheeks afterwards... on our faces too.

6th Grade Concert

Not the greatest photo of Jack, but it was in a dark auditorium and we were quite a ways away. I'm not convinced that he actually "sang", but his lips did move this time so I think he did his part.
