Have a holly jolly Christmas

Kicked off the season with the Santa's Parade of Lights downtown.  What a fun group! 

Tried something new this year and went to the Magical Lighted Forest Georgetown Loop.  A train ride through some Christmas lights on some trees and bushes.  Bust.  

Our annual Cookie baking Christmas party was fun!  Dakota was our new addition this year!!

Acker Christmas Eve=fun

Joe showed up in his "cousin Eddy" from Christmas Vacation outfit.  I love his enthusiasm

Terryn as Santa...I don't think he fooled any of the kiddos.

New hats from Nanny

Our humble little Christmas morning...actually there are an awful lot of presents under the tree.  (partly because Joe and Dakota exchanged with each other too) Blessings!! 

Poor dad didn't feel well this holiday season.   

Our tree after Joe leaned into it and snapped the plastic stand!  Crazy nut.  No worries, I ordered a replacement

And at last!!!!!   Sister Acker skips in!!!   Oh how wonderful it was to talk with her.  She looked and sounded fantastic!!

Sam insisted on this Christmas outfit for Tucker and paid for it with her own $$. 

Sam got a ukulele on the Acker kid exchange.  Score! 

Christmas Day...the nativity put on by the kids...missionaries over too

SPOONS!!
