Ok, the pictures didn't turn out all that smashing, but their faces are still pretty fun to look at...the big event (Christmas morning). Our neighbors were very curious about when we celebrated. Though we've got weird mish-mash of cultural celebrations (Nikolaustag on Dec. 6, Santa fills stockings during his visit, etc.), the kids don't seem to have much confusion at all when it comes to the whole gift thing. Many thanks to ALL, including Santa, for making it such a wonderful Christmas!
