December 1st we celebrated my parent's 40th wedding anniversary with a little dinner get together with my parents and siblings. We were missing David and Camie and Westin and Kristin, and Mark Lacroix, but we had a fun night together. My sister, Heather took some pictures that night. I'm glad we could celebrate together.

Brad and Rissa were in town for our Sinterklaas celebration. We spent Saturday visiting Santa and the candy windows at SJ city center, and the elves at Gardner Village. Cousin time is the best time.

We spent Christmas Eve at Tracy's house with my parents and the Meldrums. We ate yummy food, and played fun games.
Christmas Day was a great day. The kids were up by 6am to open gifts. I think everyone was happy with their gifts. Later, we headed to Grandma and Grandpa Kimber's for Christmas Breakfast and more gift sharing.

our Come Follow Me journals are ready for the new year!
We spent New Years Eve at home playing games, eating snacks, and watching movies. It is hard to believe that another year is gone. This year has been good to us. We are thankful for the many blessings we enjoy, but mostly the blessing of each other and the love we share. We are looking forward to a new year.
