Christmas 2012

What an amazing and fun Christmas this year for our family! We were so busy but it was really awesome to watch Liam open up his presents this year. I am about to bombard you with a million pictures so here’s hoping that I can put them in the correct order.

Christmas Eve was a fun night in Canton where we went to Christmas Eve service and my family plus Katie Rude, a family friend, played the handbells. This was the second year that we have done this at the church I grew up in. A lot of fun! Beforehand, Grandma decided to give a gift early to the kids, their very own keyboard. It may have been noisy but once again a lot of fun!

Thankfully, Liam slept through the night, unlike last year, so Christmas morning was enjoyed by all. We opened stockings together followed shortly by all the Christmas presents. There were many favorite toys at the Fink Christmas but its possible that the dinosaurs that Aunt Adriane got Liam and Eli were the most played with during and after Christmas.

One thing that I wanted to do this year for my nieces were to make them each their own apron. With my mothers help I was able to complete this project, and I think they turned out great!





















The Walles Christmas was also fabulous with lots of laughter and love between cousins (and the rest of us). Since Evan had to work the next day he went back to Bloomington while Liam and I came back to Canton so we could spend some more time with family. Liam was exhausted, fell asleep in the car and only allowed me to brush his teeth once we got to my parents because his aunts were making silly faces at him. The rest of the pictures are of the rest of the time in Canton and also one fun picture of Elliott using the binoculars that we got him for Christmas. It was a wonderful holiday and I am reminded of all the blessings that God has given us as a family.
