Christmas

Checking out our Christmas lights

"Look at our bee-yoo-tiful Christmas lights, Mommy!"

In the big-girl swing!

"Brudda!"

New Christmas present 

A break from our usual Christmas stories

We're being good for Santa!

Playing in the empty paddling pool...for some reason

The two little darlings

I'm getting ready for "school," Mommy!  I can't wait to start after the holidays!

Helping Daddy rake the enormous leaves from our two towering American Sycamores

We go to a Christmas party, and Auntie Pam has a birthday

Going to a Christmas Party

Excited to sit on Santa's lap!  Was Mommy surprised!

Fell asleep talking to his dinosaurs

Double sandwich-hug from Auntie Pam and Auntie Rose

Pretending it's naptime

Back to regular life, gearing up for Christmas

Uh-oh, that wasn't her lip moisturizer!  (At least it wasn't the glue stick this time.)

Playing at "going to sleep" in the playroom

Cuddling all of her current "babies"

At our favorite park, right across the street.  It was a little cold that day, but then the temperature jumped back up to the 70s.
