Christmas Kids!

 some of my many great-nieces and nephews hamming it up in the santa hats i gave them. i decorated the ball at the end of the hats with jack skellington's face and the kids were thrilled with them.

it was a bittersweet holiday and celebrating without my sweet husband and dad was very difficult,but it's said that christmas is for children,and it's always fun watching the kids get so excited. my husband jim loved children and i was never quite sure who was more excited about the holidays,jim or the kids.
