A family portrait taken by my aunt Shellie. (If you're in the market for wedding or family photography, let me know and I'll give you her contact info. She does great work!)

Tsuki dozing on the heated tile floor at Mom and Dad's in Madison.

Grandma opening Christmas presents from all of her kids--her first DVD player and an entire season of MacGyver.

Braden consuming one of the many brats he ate over vacation... Tsuki likes brats, too.

Grandma with all of us. (Kappelman kids, that is, not grandchildren.)

Braden and I opening birthday/anniversary presents at my parents'. We're working on collecting the rest of the pieces in our wedding china.

Ooooh... a covered vegetable bowl.

The family enjoying our Christmas Eve tradition of present opening after church and eating mozzarella sticks and shrimp. (We open on Christmas Eve because when Dad used to have to work at the farm on Christmas morning, we kids had to stare at the pile of presents until he got home... very painful. Plus it just gave us more time to enjoy, instead of hurring off to relatives' houses or making dinner.)

Braden and I...

Mom admiring Braden's many soccer balls.

Tsuki's first Christmas presents!

Braden and Matt enjoying the new Bond game.

Dad entertains Tsuki with sqeaky balls.

Lots of stuff fits in the IQube.

Josh demonstrating the new IQube to Tsuki.

Tsuki is somewhat overwhelmed by her Christmas presents.
