Christmas Day

Kids make Christmas magical. Cal and Crewe were SO fun this year.

Santa brought Crewe a shopping cart and plastic fruit.

Crewe was completely unimpressed with his Santa goodies
except for the carrot.

Despite being on the naughty list a few times recently,
Santa delivered Cal the pedal car he has been eying.
Cal quickly declared "that's cool, I like it!"

Grandma & Grandpa scored big points with their Thomas the Train gift set.

And Crewe loves the monkey handpicked by Grandma.

On Christmas afternoon we went to the home of our good friends, the Maughans, for a delicious Christmas dinner. They went all out with the food.

Bob's turkey was a piece of art.

Crewe's favorite part was playing with the youngest Maughan, Bailey the dog.

Christmas Eve

Ahhh... Christmas baking on Christmas Eve. The boys were especially good assistants in the kitchen with their new "chef-wear" courtesy of Grammy. Wish I inherited that gene that would let me create stuff like that without a pattern.

The final product: goodies to deliver to friends tonight as we carol outside their front doors

Mom & Dad Calvert flew down from Denver to join us for the holiday.
Christmas wouldn't be the same without sharing it with family.
