Merry Christmas 2012!

We are very thankful to share our Christmas memories with you. Jake woke up at 5:40am to tell us Santa had arrived.  Olivia and Jake were so excited to open presents. They also took time to reflect upon the true meaning of Christmas with the birth of Jesus....the reason for the season!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Jake was so excited...even at 5:40am!

Is it my turn???

St. Nicholas Day

Jake and Olivia enjoyed their St. Nicholas Day with family traditions and a present.  Then, we all went to St. Simon to have breakfast with Santa and do holiday crafts. Olivia did not know what to think when sitting on Santa's lap. She did not cry, but also was unsure of how to act while around him.  The kids continue to count down the days to Christmas during the Advent season.
