Family time. Christmas celebrations.
I was there too. Always the photographer, barely in any photos.

Christmas Program at Community Bible Study. Evan pretty much stood there looking around the entire time. I think I saw his lips move once. Oh to be a boy.
Nadia took a little photo shoot with the poinsettias after the show.
Ok, here is video of the Jingle Bells. He sure was getting after them. Enjoy!

Nadia's first Christmas decorating party. She was joy filled, squealing and loving the freedom of roaming the carpet with Daddy snapping shots. Memories made.
