Because of travel (and added cost of luggage), we decided to write Santa and ask him to bring Christmas to us early. So we welcomed Christmas on December 12th. (The kids were thrilled; mommy has mixed opinions!) I wanted to share with you some of our highlights from this wonderful holiday!

That is the cutest post. I love how you wrote it up. I hope you had a great early Christmas. Have a great trip
You are a genius! What a great idea to do that and not have to haul all the presents back and forth. Coming from someone who just lugged it all across the border, you are SO smart to have had Santa come early! It looks like a fantastic Christmas and how lucky you guys get to do it all again! I also love the way you wrote the post, and that Dessie got in it too. We miss Blaine all the time because he's sleeping... or just still in his car seat. Poor kid!
Merry Christmas Reber family! We sure love and miss you guys. Have so much fun on your trip!
