Christmas!

Here are just a few Christmas pictures.  We had last weekend off duty and spent a few days in Bluffton having family Christmases.  We had lots of fun!  It is hard to fit so much fun stuff into a blog post!  But here are some of my favorites.

This is typical of Halle, or probably any other baby.  As you can see, Halle would rather play with the bow from her gift, instead of the toy!  It would be a lot cheaper to just skip the toy!

Jill and Halle before bed

This is Kaine's new funny face.  It looks a little creepy, but he was getting such a good reaction out of us, and he thought it was so funny!

Kaine opening his big present from Grandpa Jim and Grandma Jan--he was super excited!

They got him a new John Deere bike!  He is a little small for it right now, but I predict that next summer he will be riding it all around campus:)

Aaron decided to try out Kaine's bike (and you can see Nathan in the background, wearing the annual Christmas vest.  It is a Christmas tradition for him--he got it in a white elephant exchange a few years ago:) )

The beautiful Halle with her beautiful great-grandma Lil!

Here is Halle getting ready to open a present

Here is Halle with another beautiful great-grandma (Leona)

This might be hard to see what is going on, but this is the fish pond that my dad made for Kaine.  It was so cute!  Kaine would throw his fishing line over the barrier-thing, and my dad would attach a present, then pull on the line.  Kaine would "reel" it in.  He loved it!

Here is my studly grandpa, with the game that we play in our Yergler family.  It is a spin off of Hoosier Millionaire, but they call it "Yergler Pennyaire".  (although, we get more than just pennies:) )  It was lots of fun!

Halle is not too sure about Kaine's new bear:)

Merry Christmas and God bless, everyone!  We hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
