Christmas 2016

Christmas came & went with a flurry of activity for our family! We travelled to Illinois/Indiana for a few days, and then had family from out of state visiting here for a few days. We were all blessed with safe travels & a wonderful time of fellowship together! Here are a few of our favorite moments captured on camera, along with some random family photos from the month of December. Enjoy! :)

Kara & Mary wearing the matching dresses that Jenna & Kara wore a few years ago. :)

 

We were having supper one evening, and a real live Santa Claus showed up at our door.
We were all a little surprised! Since we typically tell our kids that Santa is not real,
Ryan found this a little confusing. ;)
