Christmas 2011

I am so behind. Christmas has come and gone. We had a great holiday season. This year we wanted to show the kids that the Christmas season isn't all about gifts under the tree. We went Christmas caroling at the convalescent home. It was great seeing the joy on the faces of the elderly. Stephen and I delivered cookies to neighbors. We donated blankets and water to a homeless shelter. I'm not sure if the impact of what we did will have an immediate effect on our kids. Hopefully, they will look back on it someday and realize the true meaning of Christmas. Stephen enjoyed the antics of Clyde the elf. Everyday was something new. 

 
He drew faces on pictures...

                                                          Made a zipline...


  injured himself (on the zipline)....
                                                     
                                                        was a rebel......

                                                         missing the North Pole....

                                                        brushed his teeth and tagged the mirror.....
                                                        replaced family photos with his own....
Christmas morning



We look forward to Clyde's return next year.
