Christmas 2013

As usual, Christmas in the King household is always busy. December began with the arrival of our elf, Oliver, who watches over us and reports back to Santa. Unlike some elves, who get into mischief, Oliver just watches, listens and moves around to a different location each night. All three kids were excited to find where Oliver was and to open their advent calendars...LEGO, of course.

Once school was over, we baked cookies, decorated the house inside and out to get ready for the arrival of Santa Claus. There is something to be said for a house full of children at Christmas. On the excitement scale, its about a twenty, with everyone hoping for their wish list to be fulfilled and one child in particular, making sure that everyone has the same number of presents. With a houseful of family here on Christmas Day, we enjoyed a turkey and ham dinner, wine and good company. Merry Christmas!

Here are a few memories from our Christmas:
