Christmas 2009

Christmas came early to the Crouse house this year as we celebrated with family the weekend before Christmas.  This year was special because we were able the share the season with my mother, brother and my sister-in-law as well.  Following are some photo highlights.

We not only enjoyed exchanging gifts, but continued our tradition of beginning the day by reading the Christmas story from the Bible.  We have three grandchildren now that can take their turn reading.  One new tradition was the girls and kids wearing coordinating pajamas for the day.  This is a tradition worth repeating…so comfortable!

We are so thankful for the blessing of family and for a wonderful Christmas together.
