Novak's First Christmas!!
WOW!! Those words were uttered so many times this past week in response to several things: the 25 inches of snow(with three to four foot drifts!), the amazing meals Grandma Kathy cooked, Santa's generousity!, families equal generousity, sheer exhaustion, nameless children's behavior(both good and bad), Novak's sleepless nights and finally, realizing Christmas had come and gone in a flash. It was another memorable year in all areas for us...we sure know how to have several life changes going on all at once!

Enjoy the pictures...Happy New Year!!
Novak "walking"(sorry for the cute butt shot!)
