Holiday Memories

Okay, I'm a complete heel for not posting any pictures from Noelle's birthday. We didn't have anything decent and I keep forgetting to ask for some good ones. If/when I remember to ask Leo for some pics that he took that night I will update with a late birthday post.

Here are a few pictures from our first Christmas season as a foursome.

We are currently housebound with more snow than they originally predicted. There has to be a foot out there. Coming from Maine I wouldn't normally see that as a problem. But when we have to go to a website to see which roads the town intends to plow just to find a safe route to the grocery store, that makes things more challenging. They don't do ANY residential streets. It's pretty sad.

Noelle is enjoying herself, though. At the moment she is outside building snow castles with her sand bucket and shovel. She has been out there an hour and is on her second pair of mittens and a fresh hat.

I hope our Christmas cards made it out in time.
Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Noelle got this t-shirt as a gift for the holiday. Too funny!

Wardrobe change #2 for the Christmas photo. We didn't think any of the poses in these outfits were quite right. But we still had to show off our little reindeer!

We took the kids to see Santa at Redmond Town Center. Noelle had a nice long chat with the friendly elf. Gabriel had a nice snooze.

Gingerbread house making at the Adkinsons'. Noelle would put the candy on, admire it, pull it off and eat it and then add more. That's my girl!

John passed down that sage advice of old... "don't eat yellow snow". Incidentally, the snow is taller than Gizmo. Poor little dog!
