Christmas 2008

Christmas was a magical time for us this year! After the events of the last several months, the wonder, joy and excitement in the girls was not only priceless but contagious! We kicked off Christmas Day at 4AM (yes you read that correctly!), attempted to make it through 9:00 mass :), and then headed to Michigan City to have Christmas at Grandma & Papa's, spend a few days there with Uncle Mark & Connor too and then celebrate today at Oma's house.

Instead of typing away as I often do :), I'll let some pictures from our holiday celebrations speak for themselves!

Happy Holidays!
