We got to celebrate Christmas 3 times this year. We started out with xmas eve service at church where I sang twice that night. Then we opened up gifts as a family of 4.
Klara showing off her new stroller that she really needed.
Kaleb loves his Bears shirt.
Then we were on our way on xmas day to travel when we heard the engines. Our local fire dept drives around town on the 25th with santa in tow and they hand out candy canes to anyone who comes outside to see. The sirens and lights are usually on and they travel slowly. Of course, we got out there right when they were leaving....so Clif to the rescue. He tracks them down and asked them to come back. Gotta love small towns. I'm not sure who was more happy to see it...the kids or me.
Then we made our way slowly down south to Clif's side of the family. Everyone was able to meet there and have xmas #2.
Klara shows off a movie they got....very cute.
Kaleb got some trucks that he just loves.
And daddy got to assemble Kaleb's new big wheel bike.
After a great "dinner" we all got to veg and watch a movie together. This is not all the family, just what I could get. All together there are 17 of us. We ended our night together with xmas caroling and looking at the neighbor lights in the back of grandpa's big truck. 
Klara got her new baby which she has named Bella.
Kaleb got his drums!! In the form of drum sticks.

It was a late arrival and we put the kids to bed pretty much right away. The next morning (26th) was xmas #3.
