Santa visited

Emily's tear-inducing ornament

Gingerbread house

Emily made this gingerbread house at school today--she was very, very proud. It was also pajama day (I don't remember why...they had been good or something). She managed to wait until I got home, grabbed these two pictures with my phone, and then she and Ellen devoured it.

Santa 2011

The first two are scanned pictures from our local mall Santa. Their printer could use a little love.

Then Michelle helped with a little color correction so that the clothes didn't seem quite as outrageous. A lot truer to the actual colors.


Thanks, Papa & Grandma, for our cute matching outfits!
(And the other clothes that aren't pictured.)

Decorating the tree

There are more pictures on the good camera, but these should hold you until I get to those...

Kids' table practice

Waffle Wednesday

The girls are sometimes easier to serve Benihana-style...

Pigtails

I want to make money off of this picture

Thanksgiving

We went to Ontario for Thanksgiving with the Steeles, and somehow I hardly took any pictures. Abby enjoyed her first "real" Thanksgiving meal, and Emily and Ellen LOVED playing with Lily & Porter. It was a fun weekend!

Belated birthday pics

A few weeks ago, I had a birthday. Kim brought a cake over and let the girls decorate it. It was amazing. It's a good thing I love sprinkles.

Jessica and her girls came up to celebrate, and we had a great time hanging out.
