Kiah's contribution to the tree decorating process
The lights are on, now it's the tricky process of finding just the right spot for each ornament!
Kiah woke up to join us
The proud family and the finished product
The week of Christmas was busy, but so fun. The Richters have a family tradition of going together Christmas Eve morning to get a tree and then coming back to the house to decorate before the Christmas Eve service at church and a night of games at the Welanders. So much fun! And Karl and Jayla and Kayla were around to join in this year. Here are some highlights...

We're finished!
Kiah played baby Jesus at our Christmas Eve service, but also got to wear a pretty dress!

And finally... Christmas morning with Grandpa and Grandma and the Thompsons.
