We had a nice Christmas this year. Gabe returned from Bahrain on the 22nd in time to enjoy a few days of the holiday prior to Christmas. The kids were out of school the entire week preceding Christmas and had plenty of time to ramp up for the big event. We enjoyed a delicious turkey dinner on Christmas Eve, delivered a few "things" and retired for the night. Lucy was up Christmas morning before anyone else at 5:00 AM and stayed awake with Dad (it was his turn after being away for a couple of weeks) waiting on her siblings to arise. We thought we had decided upon a more simple Christmas this year as far as presents go because we spent last month on vacation in Disneyland, but after finishing unwrapping our gifts on Christmas morning it looked like we did not accomplish our goal. Thank you to the kids' grandparents who were so generous as always. We hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas. We missed you.
Natalie has been singing her preschool songs around the house for the past month, and now we can see the results of her efforts.

The kids made their annual gingerbread house and looked forward to after Christmas when they are able to eat it.
