Merry Christmas!

This year Dave worked Christmas night...last year was Christmas Eve. We decided to do a special Christmas dinner Christmas Eve before church.

Cookies and milk for Santa!

Santa's gifts!

This is what Kyle has wanted for 2 years....Transformers. Santa was able to find the version without guns or any type of shooting/laser devices.

We opted to sing Happy Birthday to Jesus with sweet rolls instead of a cake this year. The candle worked just fine!

December in the Rudolph household

Here at our house, we celebrate both the miracles of the Old and New Testament. As you can see from our fridge decorations!

oops..again

Dave was so excited to find a really cool football watch to give to Kyle!

Christmas fun

Kyle's class had a Christmas party. It was on a Thursday, a day they are ususally not in school, so Elizabeth and I got to go too. Dave even showed up!

Cutie pies in their Christmas P.J.'s

I took the kids downtown to the Macy's light show. It was AWESOME! It is 50+ years old. We watched 2x...once from the floor, looking up and once through the rails looking straight ahead

The Grand Finale

Santa made his yearly visit down our street on top of a fire truck. Kyle was so excited...Elizabeth enjoyed all but the loud horns.

Dressed for Church

Eli's party

Elizabeth's classmate, Eli, had his 3rd birthday party at Gymboree. He has an older brother Kyle's age, so both our kids got to go and celebrate!

Hanging out at home

The kids have been caring for their "bear bears." Notice they have leashes on. They frequently take them for walks (dragging them) around the basement.
