Christmas 2012

Christmas is long gone, but I just now got around to downloading pictures. Christmas through New Years was all set to be a fun filled week. Anna and Michael were coming down from Michigan for Christmas and my parents were flying out from California for the whole week. Things started out well, but then I came down with the flu the day after Christmas and then my parents got sick! We still managed to have some fun. Inga got thoroughly spoiled by having Grandma and Grandpa out for a week. She was definitely disappointed when things returned to normal, but she has since gotten over that (fortunately.)
Anna and Michael stayed with us for a few nights the weekend before Christmas. We started the week of feasting off with leg of lamb for Anna, Michael, Becs, Dan, Beth, Ethan, and Zoey.
All ready for Wiley Christmas at Uncle Joshua's and Aunt Marsha's on Christmas Eve. Inga picked out her snow boots to wear with her dress.
