christmas | dec. 23 - 26

We spent the week of Christmas with my family, and did our family Christmas, the Zehr Christmas, and Auntie's Christmas. It was a big week, but we enjoyed being with everyone!

Grandpa & Grandma Zehr gave Ivory a Raggedy Ann doll for Christmas. She loves the hair. :)
Mary T. gave Ivory this darling little outfit as a baby gift. Unfortunately due to Ivory's lack of hair, I think she looks like a little French boy in this picture, but that's ok. 
My mom made Ivory an adorable Quiet Book - she loves the balloons page (not pictured).

And her aunts/uncle gave her fun blocks and other toys.
For our siblings exchange, we did a "leisure" theme. Leah thought back to last summer when she was here with us and decided that in Grant's free time, he usually chose to nap - so she got him a hammock. He's still not sure what he thinks about her perception of him... but it was dead -on!
So I made Ivory this little Christmas dress and really wanted her picture in this rocking chair, because Mom has a picture of me in that rocking chair on my first Christmas. But alas, this is the best picture I got... 
... because ALL of the other ones looked like this.
Zehr Christmas - Grandma reading her traditional limerick. Except usually U. Dew reads it, so it was a little unusual that she did it herself this year. 
And the traditional brass quartet.
Laura got Ivory this outfit as a baby gift, so we had to take a picture.
And one with Auntie, just because. 
After Auntie's Christmas mom and us kids headed out to Remington to skate on Al & Sarah's backyard ice rink. 
This picture is the only one I have to document that we were there, but it turned out blurry. Oh well.
