Christmas

Since Naomi was born less than 2 weeks before Christmas, our holiday was a little different this year. But our families were great about adapting plans so we could join in as we were able, and we enjoyed celebrating with both sides of the family at different points, including a trip to the beach.

Best present under the Christmas tree this year...
Joe & Jess hosted the Peckham family Christmas this year, complete with an incredible turkey dinner. We were also joined by Tomoko, an MK from the Philippines and Biola student, who was staying with Mom & Dad over Biola's Christmas break.
Naomi meets Uncle Andy for the first time.
Joe and Jess gave beautiful origami Christmas ornaments dipped in wax.
Jess received a special Nativity set from the Philippines.
We gave Mom one of Daniel's photos from our hike along Italy's coast this summer.
Katie had also been saving Mom's Christmas present from last year - an olive wood Nativity set from Bethlehem, where we were last summer. (Mom collects Nativity sets.)
Jess' special gift was a new bike!
This wasn't really a gift but we found an old Zorro sword of Andy's from when he was younger, so we wrapped it up and gave it back to him for fun.

This sweater was a little big on her, but it kept her warm when we went to the beach a few days after Christmas!
All dressed up for church.
