Welcome to Christmas

Christmas doesn't feel like Christmas--even with a giant tree permeating my house with it's glorious fragrance--until I experience a Christmas gathering with those I love.
Things were officially kicked off this past Sunday, then, when Emily, Aden, Amy, Caleb and I congregated over tacos and good conversation.

There was much to talk about, what with the
growing baby bump and
sparkling engagement ring we've been blessed with recently.

But when the eating and the conversing
had been given sufficient time, 

we moved ourselves towards the main event
 --the giving of gifts--

 while the men and dogs looked on
and while Aden captured our gift-giving joy:


Don't ask us what was so hysterical,

just know that we enjoyed it...

With gratitude for all these gifts,
Welcome to Christmas!
