But, we tried to make it as "normal" as we could and anticipated the excitement of one of our favourite times of the year.
It all started with a little Christmas baking...
Callie did the stirring...
And the cookie-cutting...
Mommy did a little taste-testing... ;)
She was so proud of our creations...
Then we packaged them up (the ones that Mommy didn't eat)
and delivered them to our neighbours...
Then, we attended our Nanny's church Christmas event.
Callie and Eve (pronounced Ava, our Nanny's daughter) had a great time singing and dancing together...
And we got to watch Boh (our Nanny-- 2nd from the right) and her hubby (far left) be part of a drama...
Then, Christmas day arrived! And Callie opened lots of fun gifts...
Each one was opened with equal excitement...
And, seeing as we wouldn't be enjoying a family brunch with the Esau's this Christmas, Jon prepared some delicious breakfast bagels instead. So. yummy.
And last but not least, just 2 days after Christmas, we boarded a train and went on a little adventure...
But I'll tell you more about that later... :)

THanks for letting us have a peek at your Christmas celebration. It looks like you had a really special time! <3
Looks like a wonderful Christmas. So different then "home", and still different then what ours looks like out here. Glad you were able to make it a special time...
thanks for sharing Bonnie! It looks like a different experience, but wonderful :) Callie's looking very grown up!
