We had a very lovely Christmas in our new home. The kids enjoyed our usual traditions with pizza and sleeping under the tree. We also went caroling, spent a fun evening with the Baethge's, and hosted a neighborhood Christmas party. Then on Christmas Eve we went to a potluck at the Johnson's. We had a great time and we were very glad to celebrate with some new friends, the Johnson and William families.
Christmas morning was really nice, just hanging out and opening presents. It's so much fun watching the joy in our kiddos. They have been contentedly playing ever since. This week off from school has been super nice for all of us!
Caroling crew at the "after-party" ~ caroling was such a blessing to my soul! I plan to do that every year now.

We walked a trail and then went to the park today ~ happy kids with walkie-talkies (thanks Bonus fam!) and Jared with his [cap] "dun" (gun).
