Christmas Celebrations With The Berger's

Our family on Christmas Eve.
We celebrated Christmas this year with Patrick's parents, Jim and Sandy, who were back from Naples, FL and with Patrick's brother, Jeff and Susie (his wife) and kids, Chase and Owen.  We all had a great time eating some wonderful meals, catching up on each other's lives and watching the kids play together.  It was sure a merry, merry Christmas:)

Santa Came!

We were all so excited to find that Santa stopped by our house early Christmas Eve morning!  The kids had set up a cute little welcome area with cookies and milk for him the night before.....and then next morning....they were very amazed to see the cookie crumbs that he left and the gifts that he had brought!  It was a merry holiday morning at the Berger home:)

I love the 2 cute little elves!

Soph and her new Puppy, Twinkle.
The kids are both at such a great age and really appreciate every little detail of Christmas....mostly getting presents....but, Patrick and I tried to show them the real reason for the season...Jesus.  We are so blessed and thankful.  I hope that you all had a blessed Christmas with your loved ones.
