Christmas Day!

Christmas with the Kellmer Family









We will always remember Karis' first Christmas as the one and only white Christmas I can remember having since living in Oregon! We had to get pictures to prove it.

Grandparents

Vance's dad and step mom, Grandpa Merlin and Grandma Marti.


My parents, Grandpa Dave and Grandma Robin

What do you think? Karis is DONE taking photos for the night!
Enough already!?!?!

Christmas Eve




After our Christmas Eve Service, we took advantage of the Christmas tree back drop to take some pictures.

Karis and the Christmas Tree

This was our first Christmas with a child in the house. Karis conveniently became more mobile during the month of December. Therefore, we had to be careful which ornaments we placed toward the bottom of the tree. By Christmas day, we had to move the beads up higher so she didn't grab them and try to eat them.









Santa even visited our house early this year. Our neighbor, Terry, dresses up as Santa every year and he came knocking on our door on December 16th to bring Karis a candy cane. She wasn't too fond of Santa though. I realize now what all those parents feel like when their kid doesn't want to sit on Santa's lap.
