Merry Christmas

Christmas time has been great. Since living with the Bogles we have accomplished many things this year that we have not in the past. Bob and Betty went on a Hawaiin cruise from Dec. 3-Dec. 18. We were able to put up the lights on the house, which we have never done since we have been married. I have always wanted to but we did not have lights for some years and the years that we did it seemed like we never got the time. We also got to go out and buy a real Christmas tree. We have had a fake Christmas tree for some years. I actually like having a fake Christmas tree because you can leave it up as long as you want even through Valentines!! This year we bought an 8ft tree and even put it on top of a table! (We didn't want Nana B's Christmas ornaments to get broken by our little 1 yr old!) Also if you notice there are no Christmas presents under the tree. This was taken on Christmas Eve. We had to hide all the presents in a different room so our little Karsten would not open them all. Here is Karsten possing for the picture. He is so cute. He says "Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeese" whenever he sees a camera.
Tom's sister Megan and Rueben had their first baby on Dec. 20th. Who knew he would be 9lbs 15oz, 22.5 inches long! We thought since we had a brand new baby we would have the kids and Megan and Rueben and baby Catcher dress up as Mary, Joseph, Jesus, Angles and Shepherds. We even had a sheep dog!
Here is Brecken taking a time out from all the seriousness of the picture!
Christmas was great. The boys made out like bandits. My favorite part was watching the boys open their presents and play with their toys. They sure enjoyed everything they got. Brecken got an awesome pirate ship that he played with all afternoon. Karsten got a school bus and a huge candy cane. He loved his candy cane.
This year was yet another great Christmas!
