This Christmas we were happy to have Gramma and Pa join us once again from Nebraska.  We all had lots of fun together.  The kids especially enjoyed playing with Gramma and Pa and climbing into bed with them each morning.  We had excellent, warm weather, which allowed us to get out and about.  We enjoyed the Christmas Eve service at Trinity United Methodist and the lights around the pond at North Florida Hospital. And the gifts on Christmas morning were a huge hit.  Santa and our family were very generous this year.  Here are some pictures of the Christmas holiday.

Here is a video of Jenna reading a book that was recorded for her by Great-Grandma Bonnie,  and Grant opening a present from Great-Grandma Bonnie and Great-Grandpa Bob.

Here is a video of Jenna playing with one of her gifts.  A picnic set.

And finally, a video of Lucy finding and opening one of her gifts.  Partially recorded by Grant.

A couple of days after Christmas, we ate at Carrabas Italian Restaurant and discovered that they had a duck trying to raise some babies right outside their front door.
