Happy Holidays

We are a little late getting our holiday pictures on the blog because we have been busy with our visitors! First to arrive were Grandma Ann and Grandpa Clark (named Papa by Sophie). We spent some pre-Christmas time with them and took advantage of the extra hands to get some work done on our new house (installing ceiling fans, hanging pictures etc.). Then Aunt Liz, Uncle Jace and cousin Lauren arrived from Chicago. They helped us prepare for the big Christmas dinner, which included 21 adults and 4 babies! Christmas morning the girls opened their stockings and then moved on to the wrapped presents. They all got great gifts, and they were also very nice about sharing their presents with each other during the rest of the holidays. We said goodbye to the Mouse family on New Year's Day, and since their departure things have been awfully quiet around here!
