Christmas!

This has been an exciting month at the Werth household.  Our activities included a lot of holiday-filled events, such as:

• Visiting the reindeer at HyVee
• Christmas light hanging on the house for the first time
• Hunting for a Christmas tree at a local tree farm
• Getting the tree in and set up!
• Henry becoming more engaging and talkative
• Playing and recording in a wonderful cantata at our church
• Elise spending two days at home for snow days
• The Werth’s (Fred, Cathy, and Teresa) coming down for Christmas
• The Degen’s (Larry, Mary, and Laura) coming down for Christmas II
• Enjoying the Christmas cards of many friends and family
• Lighting up the fireplace and occasionally smoking out the house
• Finally getting back to working on the downstairs remodeling (installing plumbing for a new bath tub)

It’s been a great time and I’ve enjoyed spending time with the boys, Elise, and our families.  Unfortunately, I did not get a Christmas card out this year and have been a little lax on the blog.  So… I’m hoping to get a number of updates and photos up soon – as I’ve recently gathered all of our photos from various places into one (the trouble of having many devices – phones, cameras, computers, etc).

For now, enjoy these photos of our Christmas holiday!
