Christmas Still

Merry Christmas, still. Since we're all still (only just started!) celebrating the birth of our Savior, we'll not consider this Christmas post late at all. Here are some pictures. I won't make a lot of comments due to the late hour and the guyying baby. Let it be known that we had a really, really great Christmas with beautiful church services, lots of nice presents, lots of even nicer family (both here and away), lots of love, a fun and safe trip to Asheville, and we're already looking forward to next year.

Just the ladies on Christmas Eve

Evangeline's strange reaction to Christmas tree appearance
on Christmas Eve morning = Shy/scared.

Prune tarts and Christmas hymns. (This photo was not even
intentionally set-up. If you can believe that)

Christmas house.

Kyle brought the Silver Laced Wyandotte in
for some Christmas Eve cheer.

Adorable dresses by Grandma

Finally she can earn her keep

Farmhouse present from the Alaska grandparents. Giant
carrot, too.

Someone must have noticed our cold floors.

....even for the non-walkers, the floors are cold.

Explaining stuff to Irene

New information fatigue

Doing their own things

Only prop up babies with good gin.

Katie and her pal. We thought she might not
want to come home with us.

Cousin Caroline loves this baby

Oh no.

Evangeline's hair is the object of much doing.

This is somehow the best picture we got of them
before the Schell family Christmas.
