We had Christmas dinner - complete with Christmas crackers. Here's Laney with her paper hat & the stamp from inside her cracker.
Rob & Kathryn, just being themselves
After dinner & presents, we went to Christmas Eve services at church. Kathryn played in the Christmas youth band.
A bittersweet moment, it was our last Christmas Eve service at this building. Our new building is due to be available next summer.
Christmas morning - here's Rob adding to my collection of pictures of things he has worn on his head. Someday I'll do a blog post of just those pictures.
Laney checking out how well her new tutu from Mommy & Daddy spins.
We had another little Christmas meal on Christmas day, in addition to more presents. We saved Laney's presents from her all her aunts & uncles until Friday, when Ronny & Lauren came over.Here's Ronny with his Christmas present from us - the Big Bobber cooler. I thought it was funny, he & Lauren were actually pretty excited about it.
Laney playing her new saxophone from Aunt Katy & Uncle Derrick & the kiddos.
Aunt LaLa "babysitting" with Laney, the two Cabbage Patch dolls (one from Santa, one from Uncle Mike, Aunt Tara & Evan) and the other dolly from Aunt Tara & co.
Here she is with the Christmas tree & her new Little People Castle from Aunt Katy & fam. Thanks for all the gifts, Katy & Tara & families!
On to Tuesday, which was Rob's birthday. Laney's mildly confused about this whole birthday thing. She can't keep up, we've had a few in the family recently, plus baby Jesus. She also wanted to help Daddy open his presents, just in case one was really for her.
New Year's Eve - time for the semi-annual Hamburgers, Birthday Cake & Firework Festival. Happy Birthday, Rob!
Here's the gang - Stina, Rob, Becky (back for a couple of weeks from Japan) and Neil.
We had a great New Years, playing our new games, watching way too much of the new satellite, & we discovered a tasty new cabbage dish to go with our black eyed peas for luck & prosperity.

We're glad the gifts were enjoyed. I thought long and hard about what to get (age wise, etc). It's hard when we don't have a girl of our own. Oh well! We'll be pros in the boy department.
Happy belated birthday to Rob! Happy New Year!
Looks like Laney racked up! Your family looks like so much fun, never a dull moment! Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Happy Birthday Rob!!!
