Family, Presents, and Jesus...Oh My!

This year, we stayed in Indy and everyone came to us! (Thanks everyone!) Although we both missed our home towns, it was nice to avoid the traveling! On Christmas Eve, we went to our church with my parents. My brother and his wife came up later that night and JC's parents joined us the next morning for Christmas Day! Luke had a very low-key Christmas...only opening about 500 presents. Hopefully next year, the amount will be divided between him and his sister. :) Here are some shots from the day.


Jessie and I have been exchanging this scarf for the last 5 years...but this year JC was the lucky recipient. It suits him well, don't you think?



My Dad made me this great pasta drying rack. :)



Luke and JC both got Batman shirts!



Lighting all 5 advent candles and reading the Christmas story!



A great Neireiter shot...Puma apparently decided to grace this photo with her presence. Adidas was probably still hiding under the tree avoiding all the chaos.



Family of 3...almost 4!



Luke has SUCH an imagination and has been playing with his new Batcave and Castle nonstop since he opened them!



The annual reading of the Grinch with Nana and Grandpa...and Hulk!
