As usual I am about a week or two behind... but in Leute family tradition we took the girls down to the Stony Brook Village post office to mail their letters to Santa in a magical mailbox that they put out every year. Both Kathryn and Allison requested tons of American girl accessories as well as a new doll each. Allison wants Julie Albright... the newest of the historical dolls. Katie wants Nicki who is the doll of the year for 2007. Below Allison is just making sure her went in.
As I have talked about in other posts- I am teaching Katies 2nd grade religon class. Below is a picture of the class :) On the last day of class before the holidays we had a party. It was fun and the kids were completely wound up. Just a heads up... Katie and her classmates will be make their First Holy Communion on April 5, 2008. 
The weekend before Christmas, the girls and I spent most of the weekend baking cookies. I usually had my hand dirty, but I did manage to snap just a few photos. They love helping me, and as they get older they are actually helpful!!!
On Christmas Eve...Dougie,Erica, my mom and baby Christopher arrived. I was so excited that he would be spending his first christmas with us. Below is a photo of Rich, this is actually the first time Rich is holding Christopher.
Unfortunately I didn't have my camera when we went to Rich's Dad house for Christmas Eve. As always my father-in-law made a wonderful dinner. Everyone was there, and since we wouldn't be seeing Rich's family we exchanged gifts at Pop's house. We were home by 9pm... and had the girls to bed by 10pm... perfect for waiting for Santa to come.
