An English Christmas

 Every year the Young side celebrates Christmas in the way that our ancestors might have.  This year we celebrated our ancestors from England.  We dressed up like they might have and ate some food that they might have eaten around Christmas time.  We rented some costumes for the night and had a good time.
 Ryan and Erin went all out and played the part well.
 Brad and JanaLynn also had great costumes!
 Mike and I got some hats and called it good.  I loved Mike's hat!
 Jill rented this beauty!

Mom and Dad looked great
Joe won the night with his police hat.  Loved it!
 The whole crew.  We paid some babysitters to watch the kids downstairs so we could enjoy being with just the adults.  We ate and then headed out to do some caroling.  Brad and Janalynn have some neighbors from England so they were very happy to see us all dressed up at their door.
To end the night Dad told us about our ancestors on the Wheeler side that were from England.  He told some great stories.  Check out the boys...they are totally listening!
