We had a wonderful Christmas this year. We celebrated with our Sun Prairie family on Christmas Eve as we have every year since we've been out here. Then after church services on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, we all loaded in the car and headed out to east. It was the first time we were able to celebrate Christmas with our NJ family since before Calie and I were married. It was so nice to be present in all the NJ Christmas festivities this year and not just be a bystander via Facebook pictures. Here are a few pics...

| Making cookies. Despite the licking of fingers... all is sanitary... I think?! |
 |
| After building a fort, Collin decided he needed pictures taken. But no worries, despite the grimace of his face, he isn't angry... just a goofball! |
 |
| For Brielle's birthday, Calie made her very own desk for all of her legos, craft projects, coloring, etc. |
 |
| All ready for Christmas eve services. |
 |
| All wearing their new Christmas jammies :) |
 |
| Every year, all Collin ever wants for Christmas is donuts from Santa |
 |
| One of the highlights for all five of us during our time in NJ was going ice-skating with Uncle Kevin and Aunt Jenn. Grandma was there to but she wasn't brave enough (smart enough?) to get out on the ice. |
 |
| While in New Jersey, we were able to have a Batman-themed birthday party for Isaiah. |
 |
| Candy Cane Oreo ice-cream cake for dinner... yum! |
 |
| Isaiah got a box for his birthday from Grammy; each month a new box will come with three recipes for him to make dinner for the family. A chef in the making? Perhaps... his first two meals were delish! |
 |
| Out with the old... The gifts you get as you get older are not very exciting, but this year we were able to get new carpet throughout our house--living room, hallways, bedrooms, and closet. Goodbye stains and fraying carpet! |
