Christmas

OK, I know it is a bit late! But better late than never, right?!
Christmas was great! It was busy and fun! We really enjoyed having Dane home for Christmas too!!
Since my mom had surgery, Christmas for my family was at our house. Despite my inability to cook, my lack of serving dishes and dinnerware, I pulled it off. I did find my short comings the reason for most of the laughing and joking though - it was all in good fun! I think I would have worried if there had not any joking!

Well, I think that is about all I have to write, it was fairly uneventful, so here are some pictures!

Some pre-Christmas sledding

Our first Christmas all together!

"Fear not for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you... For I am the Lord your God..
~Isiah 43:1-3

Syndactyly is a term to describe webbed fingers or toes. In most cases the webbing is only skin, but in some cases, the bone may be fused together. Surgery is performed to correct the condition.

Polydactyly literally means "extra digits." There may be an extra thumb, small finger, or, less commonly, an extra digit in the central part of the hand. Polydactyly is one of the most common congenital hand anomalies.

Microtia is an incompletely formed ear. It ranges in severity from a bump of tissue to a partially formed ear. In most cases, only one ear is affected. In that case, it is called Unilateral Microtia. If both ears are affected, it is called Bilateral Microtia. In addition to the physical characteristics, there is a possiblitiy of some or all of these problems: About a 40% reduction of hearing in the affected ear, problems locating the direction from which a sound comes and ear infections.
