| Lincoln's "The Grinch who Stole Christmas" Cast |
We attended some fun Christmas parties, and Marina loved all of them. She is still insisting that she wants to be a poser when she grows up, and she taked every opportunity she can to practice.
Lincoln had his school Christmas program, and he memorized the entire Night Before Christmas poem. He also has big news - he gets to play Oberon, the Fairy King in his class play, A Midsummer Night's Dream.
We had a great Christmas as a family - here are some photos of the present opening at our house and at Grandma Paul's. We got lots and lots of presents!

Lincoln and Marina flew to Maine for Christmas - here are the hearty travelers right before their plane ride.
Before the kids left, they helped with a big family project. We pulled up two layers of linoleum on our kitchen floor. Both kids were really good workers - they pulled strips of linoleum and used scrapers to help pull up others. While they were gone, we finished the project, which was to put tile down.
We love the new floor!
The first week of January, Marina got tubes in her ears and her adenoids removed. She was a very good patient, and in a couple of days, she was back to her normal self.
We went to Salt Lake last weekend to see both families. We spent time with cousins Kyle, Carter, and Ella.
