Ava's new Christmas present: a Tree fort: they are loving it

Lucy happy to sample the goods

Sweet girls decorating cookies

I stepped away for a brief second when Naomi was doing the sprinkles...not a good idea to leave a 3 year old unattended

Making Christams cookies

Lucy loves to laugh, she is such a joy

As you can see, not much sleeping happens

Our family tradition is to sleep under the Christmas tree the first night after we put it up. It is always a crazy night.

Even Lucy wants to join in on the fun

Popping bubbles, a universal hit

Ava and Naomi are such good helpers. The love to help snip beans for dinner.

The girls helping get ready for Christamas. The were pretty excited.

The Koch family before stuffing our faces with the Thanksgiving meal!

I don't know what is more scarey. The look on her face or the chocolate mustache

Lucy had to join in on the fairy party and she wanted a pair of undies like her sisters.

Karl and Ruth were my awsome helpers. Thanks so much!!!
