Christmas Celebrations 2012

Photos from our 2012 Christmas celebrations.
This Christmas we could actually be around people, however Zander than I, then Gage ended up sick throughout our Christmas get togethers so not all of us attended all of them and sadly we did not get to be the only place I wanted to be on Christmas Eve-Church! But Jesus is the Reason for the season whether we could attend or not and whether we stay home or whatever.
So here's the pic's
