Christmas Continues with The Cumbus Family

We had a terrific time celebrating Christmas with The Cumbus Crew. We went to dinner at Chili's and then returned to their home for gift giving, making s'mores, and creating lasting memories by spending time together.

Twas The Night Before Christmas...Preparing for Santa

This year Haley had to spread the reindeer food and put the cookies out for Santa by herself because Nolan wasn't feeling well. Our prayer on this night was for Nolan to feel better by the morning. We prayed that no kids would be sick on Christmas!

We are so happy to have Grandpa Sam and Grandma Sandy home for Christmas!!! They drove all the way from Wisconsin to be with us. This makes our Christmas perfect! We really do miss our lively Aunt Renee and Uncle Greg though. They are in Kentucky this year but we'll be in close touch thanks to cell phones.
