This was the first Christmas that I was away from home, ever.  Susan's Mom, Dad and Brad couldn't come out this year because Brad couldn't take vacation during the holiday.  We ended up driving out to Troy celebrating Christmas in Ohio.  As usual, Christmas was picture perfect.  It snowed rather significantly on Christmas Eve and gave us a wonderful white Christmas Day.  Sorry I don't have pictures of that.   However, I do have pictures of a Christmas light show that are definitely worth seeing.

This year, we finally convinced Natalie to sit on Santa's lap.  It took many visits to the mall but after she saw enough little kids on his lap she was brave enough to talk to him about a pinkish bike.
