Well, another Christmas has come and gone in our new Florida home. How blessed we have been this year. The in laws came down for the duration and the kids have had special bonding time with them and Golden was blown away with his air gun that Grandpa gave him. We were visited again by our elf, Christopher, and I swear that he is getting more mischievous the each year. He even toilet papered our tree and ran over our nutcracker with Santa's sleigh. Is there nothing sacred to that little man. We continued with our usual traditions of having a picture ornament tree. It is getting full quickly now that the triplets are adding to it as well. We celebrated Noche Buena and opened one gift and on Christmas day we have breakfast after we open presents because who can wait that long. Eva and I made pom pom balls for wrapping our presents as well as pom pom wreaths. We also learned how to finger knit and made knitted garlands for the house and tree. Quite impressed with that one. No holiday is complete without making our ginger bread house, Christmas cookies and, in general, a lot of sweets.
Eva auditioned and was picked for the Ballet Pensacola's performance of the Nutcracker this year. We were so proud but were never allowed a moment with her in costume so all I can show you is the beautiful curls I had to do in her hair for three performances. Whew! Lots of hair on that girl. But my happiest moments were of us, climbing into bed at night and watching Elf or Fred Claus (which makes Golden laugh until the air is all but gone from his body). Or simply the not having any school or activities to run to but simply having all these days to spend with one another. It will be missed once the new year begins.

Chris left out his update to Santa one day.
