Ho, Ho, Merry, Merry, Happy New Year!

It appears that the month of December came and went in the blink of a Christmas tree blub. We certainly packed in a lot of activity - the kids say that it was the year of three Christmases, since we celebrated as a family at home, as well as with both sides of the extended family. Here are a few highlights from the holiday fun.
