It is the most wonderful time of the year. We spent our first Christmas together in New Hampshire. It was a nice break from flight school and the warm weather of Alabama (Christmas just isn't Christmas without cold and snow).
We mad a lot of fun memories but some of my favorite included: playing games near the fire, our Christmas nativity, making gingerbread houses and sledding.

| Our little Christmas tree. I pulled out the stool, placed it with all my little potted plants, and topped it off with a cotton branch I stole (shhh) from the field across the street. A little bit of sparkly garland, lights, and wa la! You've got a Christmas tree. |
 |
| A very special nativity. Kempy gave me a box of odd fabrics and said, "make costumes for a nativity." Here we are. Wise man (Aaron), angel (me), shepard (Sadie) with stuffed sheep, Joseph (Joseph), and Mary (Avy) on her donkey. |
 |
| We had a full house Christmas morning: two kids, four adults, and four missionaries. We didn't have enough stockings to go around so we improvised with boots. Aaron's army boot, my city boot, Kemper's slip-on boot, Joseph's cowboy boot |
 |
| It wasn't all fun and games. If we want to stay, we've got to help out. Aaron was recruited to help tile the new shower. He did an excellent job too! |
