'T'is The Season!

We have a small family.  It has been created by stitching lives together from across the world.  It has not been an easy way to build a family, but I would never, ever, change a thing about it.  No matter how the week goes, when I come home, my family makes me smile.
We began the season by doing the normal things...you know...gingerbread houses...    
...family photos...
...snacks...
...We visited each set of parents...
 ...spent time with family...
 ...enjoyed the chaos of a Huffman Christmas...

 ...both families were part of our Christmas...








 ...Chloe got a tablet...


 ...and showed her cousin how to use it...her aunts got together and did the same thing...with a bigger pad...
...on Christmas morning we awoke and opened our stockings...

We had a SPECTACULAR breakfast!!  Cora made an unwholesome, demonic batch of French Toast that should probably be put on a terrorist list.  It was yummy on about 7 levels that made me think unwholesome thoughts.
 Chloe really loved her presents from Santa and us!
Christmas afternoon, we decided to go for a walk.  Since the snow had been falling all night we decided to use the sled.  We had a fun time.


Today, after a while relaxing indoors, we built a snowman.


...a snowman helped us lose weight...
...we raced...

...we discovered our shadow...
we learned to be a family a little more.
