Merry Christmas from the Metz Family!
We wanted to share some of our memories from this Christmas season - Clementine's first Christmas! Have a wonderful time with your family and friends!

Clementine loves her new noisy toy from Aunt Abbey that she can't wait to share with a new cousin next Christmas!!

Breakfast with Santa at Alum Creek....

Clark was o.k. standing in line to see Santa as long as Lacy was with him. Lacy is such a ham for the camera! This is as close as Clark would get to Santa, but he was determined to ask for his tracks for Thomas and Annie & Clarabel. Clementine had just woke up from her nap when it was her turn to visit with Santa. She wasn't fully conscious yet.

Christmas with the Metzes in Defiance



This is what happens when you tell Andy to clean off the counter. Very nicely done!

Clark liked decorating cookies with Grandma - she gave him a really big one to eat when he finished working.

The kids were thoroughly spoiled in Defiance, and I'm sure the spoiling will continue when we arrive in Tennessee tomorrow to celebrate with the Hastings side of the family. Clementine loved her baby dolls and Clark was ECSTATIC over his Thomas train set. He played with it for hours and was very protective of it. Andy got to play with it for a little while. Everyone else's participation was by invitation only.

Christmas Eve

Finishing the countdown to Christmas, cookies for Santa, reading the Christmas story at bedtime when we got home from Alum Creek's Christmas Eve service......it was a wonderful Christmas Eve for the Metzes!

Christmas Morning!
