The Kleins: Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday! We had a great time with the kids today. Uncle Cecil and Aunt Agniescka came over on Christmas Eve and we had a wonderful time opening presents with the kids and eating yummy food. Seth and I had a quiet Christmas at home today. We got to face time with Grandpa Lanny and Grandma Lynn so they could see the kids opening the Christmas presents they sent. Madeline, Caleb and Mischa LOVED their gifts! They each got Leap Frog computers, Elmo books, and little people play sets and a toy car racetrack set. What a blast they had today playing with all their new toys. I was able to put everything that needed assembling together while they napped in the afternoon. This has definitely been a wonderful and memorable Christmas in that the children are aware of so much more with the holidays. They really seem to love opening presents, turning the Christmas lights on, and even eating yummy holiday foods such as turkey and apricot sweet potatoes. Overall, it's been a truly special Christmas and, again, Seth and I are reminded of how truly blessed we are. We are so excited for big brother Isaac to come tomorrow night and then for the Klein family to come on Saturday. Being around family is what makes the holidays so special. Here are some pictures from the past couple of days.
