The December 24th and 25th including the Program 2012

Christmas of 2012 had a few traditional activities and a few new ones.  This is the year that Kyle made the candy tower for Nad, with King Kong hanging on top.  It was a masterpiece.  It was the year that Natalie got a dwarf hamster and named her Squirt, the year that Kristen sang, "Stars were gleaming" on YouTube.  It was also the year that my parents came to stay for Christmas.  Of course there was a puzzle in Anna's room.  the little kids and Kyle played outside in the snow and made an egg snowball.  We took Christmas Eve pictures after opening one present and had pajamas for all.
