The holidays. Which are coming up again soon (you know it's true)!

Snowplay

Preparing for battle. They made bricks from plastic buckets which, by the way, are still outside burried in the snow. Classic.


Wills ain't worried.


Miss Ann Grows Up

Really bad pictures of a really cute baby.




Christmas Eve

The children watch Chip and Dale on Youtube while we take Ann for some last minute stocking stuffers. Bedhair!


Baking Pulla and little pies with Jane.



Not much to look at, but they sure were tasty.

Mostly eaten chocolate marshmallow treats, gingersnaps, fudge, white chocolate truffles, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.


Santa Claus Makes a Visit

Daniel (I'm trying to ignore that BB gun-*shudder*)

Libby (I'm so thrilled she still loves play things)

Jane

Wills


Christmas Morning!







Dan and His Trail Running Pals (yeah, I'm jealous, too-what I wouldn't give to immerse myself in that scenery!)










High School Reunion (of sorts--we laughed, we cried, it was better than Cats)

Sarah and her daughter Zooey

With her boy Auden

Her oldest, Wyatt (he was super excited to have his picture taken)

Sarah, Nathan Florence and his wife

Me and Rachel Jolley

Sarah's younger sister, Christina

Amy Kessler and her children (I don't know if you guys remember her at all)


My Jane

Demonstrating some Kung Fu

She loves hot chocolate, apparently


Wills



What Happens When You Ask the Children to Take Out a Diaper. AHEM.


Teenage Mutant Ninja Daniel (my favorite part is the glasses sticking out of the eye holes)


Girls basketball (if you can find Jane, you get a prize)


Dan Takes Me Moonlight Snowshoeing (it was more enchanting than it sounds)

Lying in the snow, beaming at the full moon.


Dan and Daniel go target shooting with Daniel's new BB gun (ugh)
