(then pretending to be the baby Jesus for the next month)

-Uncle Mike... Em's first crush and a darn good sport

-candy... canes, kisses, chocolate or not... anykind. just bring it!

-The Biscuit Brother's holiday music...

-Christmas in the Big Woods... a new favorite holiday book

lowlight!

-tummy bug for the entire family

more highlights!

-watching The Nutcracker... many times

-singing Christmas carols, loudly and with much enthusiasm

-rides in the barber chair

-pretending to make snow angels on the floor and imaginary snowmen on their beds
