Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I don't know where to even start! This was the craziest Christmas ever! We had three places to be on Christmas day and two cities to be in. I don't mind a packed Christmas, but when you have a child that gets car sick, you realize you have a problem. Poor Emmy threw up every time we had to drive somewhere. By the end of the day, her stomach needed to recover and she ended up being sick at Oma's house the whole time we opened presents. Therefore, we don't have a lot of beautiful pictures, the day was a whirlwind. Here's what we do have.

Jim's brother Bill on Christmas Eve in the girls new princess tent.

Emmy and Jim's dad launching a rocket.

The house that will not fit in our van!


Emmy talking on the phone in their new house.



Lydia showing off her new skills.



For all of you wondering what Calvin is looking like these days.



The girls in their Christmas dresses.








And of course, the Christmas card picture.
