Here's our Christmas pictures finally! There are lots of them! This is our advent craft workshop at church. It's always lots of fun!
The girls love putting sprinkles on Christmas cookies!
And another concert. This was the full orchestra. Another job very well done!

The snare
Some sort of xylophone?
And the timpani. A great concert as usual!!
Hugs for the best big brother ever!

Anton is helping to make the girls' Christmas present - a lego table.
Practicing for a state competition...it's so nice having the marimba in the house (borrowed from school over the Christmas break). He's very good at it, and it sounds so pretty. Too bad they cost about as much as a car and take up so much room.

We were going to church right after dinner, so we got her presents out while the girls were napping.
Ta-da!!!!
Crazy nap hair!
Such a cool present in such a tiny package!

Father-daughter sweetness...
The baby dolls loves their new high chair and food!
Anton must have been entertaining the girls while I got dinner ready.
There were lots of pictures of this...
And this...
And this... The baby dolls also got Christmas dresses that match their mamas! Thank you Gram!
In all the rush of getting to church after dinner and the pouring down rain, we didn't manage to get a nice picture of our beautiful kids all dressed up together. It was a beautiful service though, and the girls seems to understand that Jesus coming is what makes Christmas so special. Before bed, I did manage to get a picture of them with the cookies and milk we left out for Santa.
Christmas morning was exciting!! 
Thank you for a great Christmas visit Will and Jamie! Thank you God for giving us Christmas!!!!

I'm pretty sure Anton is texting here. Teenagers are never far from their cell phones!!
Anna loves the new lego table. I don't think she loved having her picture made at that very moment!
Emma really loves the lego table!!!!
A new tire swing! I love it that they can swing together!
Will and Jamie and cousin Mia arrived that afternoon, and we got to open more presents!
We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas dinner. Praise the Lord for giving us food!
And a Happy Birthday Jesus cheescake!
We headed out one night while our family was in town. First stop was Skeeters to watch some football game Will wanted to see (I think it was on ESPN which we don't get since we don't have cable). Coloring on the table was fun!
Then dinner at Red Curry, our favorite place in Kingwood for dinner.
Will made us some popcorn. Yummy treat!
We went to the Natural Science Museum one day.
This guy was hanging out in the butterfly exhibit (in a cage).
We tried to get a picture of all three girls smiling...
Does a cute pouty face count?
A fun little play room after you come out of the butterfly sweathouse, I mean rainforest type place. 
We went to the playground one day!
