This is the family picture that we were going to send to people as a Christmas card, but we didn't take the picture until it was way to late to send them. Maybe we could send it as a Happy Martin Luther King Jr. day postcard...or maybe not. It was really hard for Ry to hold a rubber ducky to get LE's attention and take the picture with one hand. Self photos are the best.
This is LE in a really cute Christmas dress. It was poofy, and glittery, and furry, and brilliant pink. What more could a little girl ask for. She tried to take a nap with it on, but she kept tickling her own face and she couldn't ever fall asleep.
Ba went shopping on two different occasions and purchased these two shirts. It is nice to realize that her taste for clothing doesn't change over a two week time span.
Ry was given this sweater and three pairs of pants. Ba is trying to make him dress a little nicer, because she wants him to branch out beyond a t-shirt and jeans.
LE was more excited about the wrapping paper than the gifts. She just wanted to eat everything, and she sure tried to.
We had the chance to make gingerbread houses. LE did a pretty nice shack with moms help. I wonder if she will discover the secrets of loading the inside of the house with candy.
Ry and his family are very serious about gingerbread houses. I say houses, but the more recent creations have been windmills, boats, tanks, mountain scenes and yurts. It takes hours, but they have a fun time.
We hope you all had a wonderful holiday and had the chance to spend some time with family and friends. Have a wonderful new year!!
