Christmas and more

Some pictures of our fun Christmas, getting our tree, and Ryan working on the zipline. It's done now, but we haven't used it a whole lot yet since it has been so cold. Pictures are out of order, sorry about that!


We were up VERY early. This year was the most excited the kids have been about Christmas. SO very excited.
