Christmas passed ...

... much too quickly, and here it is January 21st, but I still want to post some photos from one of my favorite times of the year. It's always a challenge to catch every single one of us smiling with eyes open, but our Christmas 2008 family portrait comes pretty close.

Christmas tree magic

Part of the family at the Christmas Eve table

And at the kids' table

Getting to know you -- Susannah and Luke hold baby cousins Davis and Isaac as they get to know each other

Little Santas and Hannah try to figure out who the next gift is for, while Keith and Hunter are otherwise occupied

Appreciating an abundance of gifts


Little Santas everywhere

Reindeer too

And festive hairbows and caps

Family portrait, take 2 -- Happy New Year, one and all!
