We spent the days before Christmas with my family and after Christmas we went to be with Kevin's family. I say this every year, but we are so blessed to have families that we love and genuinely enjoy spending time with.
It is too bad that I don't have any pictures of the memories we made together. In the days leading up to Christmas I got a particularly nasty virus that took a few weeks to go away. It is not really an exaggeration to say that we don't have any pictures because instead of capturing memories I was blowing my nose (anyone in my extended family can attest to this).
Since it was Oliver's first Christmas with us I did manage to pull myself together for long enough to take some pictures of Christmas morning.

| I also rallied one afternoon to make Christmas cookies. |
 |
| Oliver joined the Christmas eve tradition of reading the kids' stories out loud. |
 |
| Kevin and I could hardly get through any of the books without bawling, Oliver's was especially emotionally overwhelming. The kids were clearly not as touched. |

| We can always count on Cambel to make us feel like we are the best parents ever. |

| Ada with one of her many "new" My Little Ponies via ebay (if she only knew how long spent cleaning them up, combing, braiding, and even cutting their hair). |
 |
| One of the best gifts this year was having our sweet boy home with us. |
