Christmas catch up

Katie tore through her gifts. John appreciated each one. Claire kept asking for more. Allison energetically oohed and ahhhhed over every thing. It was a treat to watch. The giant dollhouse for the girls, Allison's pogo stick, Katie's Zhu Zhu pets, Claire's bath toys and John's Lego table are still huge hits. The house is nearly recovered and we started back with our school routine today. We are blessed to have Spence home this year and think often of our friends who are living through deployments this year.
