Merry Christmas!

Santa came early this Christmas - we finally swallowed hard and bought a mini-van for our growing family.  Since it had to be done, I lobbied my way into heated seats and an entertainment system.  The kids are pretty excited (though we haven't shown them the DVD player yet).  Dean wanted to fill it with books and toys as soon as he noticed that his door had the built-in pockets for all of his stuff. 

This photo was taken Christmas Eve, after our inaugural ride.  oh, what fun!

Merry Christmas!
