The Christmas Season - Part II

We went to Edaville Railroad, and saw the lights


and rode the train

and the rides

and had further discussions with Santa

At home, we put up the tree

and waited for the presents

We set the table and waited for friends

We studied the nativity and waited for the baby

Then FINALLY after all the waiting. . .

The presents arrived

Friends arrived (bringing presents of course!)

and more friends arrived (Griffin set up this shot!)

And the baby arrived in the manger. . . the gift that started it all!

The Christmas Season - Part One

The kids had their "official" Christmas pics taken last weekend. Here is a preview. . .

They also attended their first Christmas party of the year . . . at Mom's work!

Feeling Thankful

We had many things to be thankful for on Thanksgiving 2011

Pretty dresses . . .

busy hands . . .

and Gracie's new haircut!

That is correct . . . at nearly 3 years old, Gracie had her first haircut!
