Michelle spent part of the time helping McKenzie decide where to place the softer ornaments... and about half the time holding McKenzie back from flinging loose the decorations that were already on the tree..

Mitchell took this photo of Steve and McKenzie. Even at 6, Mitchell already has demonstrated a flair for photography and has taken several noteworthy shots. He practices when he can, but doesn't normally get to use dad's camera for his sessions.

McKenzie made a bee-line for the jingle bell mini-wreath that is hanging on the front door. Hey McKenzie, you probably ought to put on a jacket if you're going outside!
