Elfing

Everybody gets an elf.

Each new member of the family gets an elf on the Christmas tree at Mom and Pop's. Tracy got her's in '07 when we got married and this year was Grace's turn.

This year we put 3 new elves on the tree, for Grace, Luke and Matthew. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think we are up to 25 elves now.

The tree turns out better with the flash off, but the people turn out better with it on.

Handing out ornaments.

Another tradition on elfing night, is that we have hot apple cider, and Pop hands out ornaments to all the grandkids.

Here is Pop holding Grace & her ornament. It's a cute, fuzzy and white, so a little hard to make out in the picture. We love it! Thanks, Pop!
