May she believe in Santa until she is 28:
Making sure the birthday doesn't get mixed in with Christmas:
Oh the pains I went through (wink wink) to make these cookies:
On to decorating the Christmas tree:
And then the school concerts:
Christmas Eve giddiness:
Me and the siblings:
Enjoying time with Mimi:
Some how managed to get the four cousins together:
Some moments are just too priceless for words:
The stockings were hung by the chimney ...
Actually the full reading as an annual tradition (will need a king bed soon):
Ready to come downstairs on Christmas morning:
Football cards were the gift du jour:
A little excited to get the Barbie jet:
May be the best looking jersey of all time:
She never ceases to amaze me with her creativity:
Some one listened to one of my podcasts where some of my friends recommended a certain garden tool from Cobrahead:
How you like the use of the Norfolk Island Pine?
If you look closely in the background, you can see the reenactment of George Washington crossing the Delaware River:
More time with cousins:
A lot of board games over the break (and I swear I didn't peak at the football game once):
And a new found obsession for roller skating:
Time to get our glitter on for New Year's Eve:
Some creative use for cotton candy:
Maybe you want to join us on New Year's Eve and shut off Minecraft for a little while?
After her 15th New Year's Eve, she has the right to be exhausted:
Oh look, he's back and participating with the rest of us:
And finally, my two best ladies:
Happy New Year!
