That's right, it's Christmas here. We decided to start the tradition of celebrating the "Twelve Days of Christmas", with today being the culmination. This worked out especially well since we spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with our families in Michigan. It's nice to have a small celebration time in our home, just the three of us.
Amalia's special present from us was a Cabbage Patch doll that actually came with the name "Amalie Valeria". (Amalie is the the original German form of Amalia). We found it at Walgreens, of all places, and thought it was meant for her. She was pretty impressed with it, especially the doll's pacifier.
Our favorite new decorations this year are our beautiful personalized stockings. Jonathan's mom, Deni, made these to match our tree skirt--all of which were made from the fabric that our bridesmaids wore in our wedding.

So glad to hear that we were not the ONLY ones who still had the tree and stockings up on January 5th. HOW MANY days of Christmas? You mean that song actually MEANS something??? Seriously.
As fellow practicing Lutherans, we applaud your boldness to celebrate Christmas the way it was meant to be. :)
Oh yeah, and what a CUTE baby!! ;)
Hey, thanks for the message. We think she's cute too!
Hope you guys are well, enjoying that baby before she's a maniacal (but charming) two year old. Watch out.
Keep in touch!
I like that she seems to prefer the RED stocking. Red was my color for the wedding and quite frankly - the best color in the world!
Mali is a girl after my own heart!
