Santa Claus is coming to town

Hey everyone,
Here are some pics of the town Santa Claus parade- very cold, but very fun.... the boys were so excited to see the jolly old guy. And I thought I would post some out -takes of our Christmas picture for our cards this year. I haven't given up yet, but I am getting close. Seems we can not possibly all look good in the same picture. I plan to try again in the next day or two.
I am feeling more and more busy with Christmas preparation, but I enjoy it all so much. Will I always feel like a child? -- will I always be so excited? In the middle of all the Christmas prep. and fun, Luke is also asking lots of questions about God. He is keeping me on my toes, and Ray and I are trying to make an effort to stop what we are doing-(though sometimes that is so hard), and try to really answer his questions thoughtfully. Well, Hope everyone is enjoying this time of the year. Blessings, Kim
