My sister and her hubby came to stay, so Pat kept himself sane by completing many of the items on our to-do list! Storage Room shelves were first on the list! Happy Birthday to me!
Pat also helped Jackson build a "Boys Only" fort in our back yard!
Isaiah opening his first Christmas present!
This is just pure cuteness!
Christmas morning!
Raegan getting footy jammies so that she can slide down the stairs!
Sydney getting what she wanted.
Isaiah getting a Christmas ornament from Ethiopia.
It's Jamal Charles, in our own living room!
One of the sweet things about Christmas is seeing generosity growing in our kids. This year, Sydney led the way by showing the others how to make gifts. Raegan took this seriously and spent much of December making treasures for all of us. Here is a Bible she made for Jackson. 
And, Christmas wouldn't be complete without a plethera of goodies. 
Here is our first gingerbread house!
