Christmas 2008, Part IV





We went out to eat one night. Thank goodness for french fries!

Christmas 2008, Part III






Jack and Lily got to destroy, uh, 'play with' lots of new stuff. Also, we can see where Cindy gets her 'close your eyes for the camera' gene.

Christmas Eve


Here we all are with our Chrismas PJ's on. Jack calls them his 'Frostys.'

Christmas Train, 3





As you can see, there was no delaying the enjoyment of the candy. Lily's favorite word is 'candy,' although it comes out as something like 'ganyee.' Once the train gets to the end of the outbound trip, it unhooks, then passes back by the cars and hooks to what was the rear of the train. Then hauls us back to the station.

Christmas Train, 2





The appearance of Frosty the snowman was much ballyhooed by the younger set all over the train. The only thing that outdid Frosty was the anticipation of Santa! (Daddy couldn't keep the camera still over that section of track). We got really quiet for Santa, but no fear or crying. Candy canes!

Christmas Train





We took the kids to the Christmas Train at The New Hope Valley Railway. Santa Claus was on the Train! The kids had a ball, but Daddy was cold!

Hair Barrettes





Today was the first day that we tried Lily with her hair barrettes. She finally has enough hair to need them! Of course, Jack had to have one too. He wore it happily for about 15 minutes, then abruptly discarded it. Lily wears hers happily, but it occasionally falls out because her hair is so fine.

The first picture is called "Mine!" or "It's more desirable if someone else has it" or "The hourly disagreement".

Bath time



The nightly ritual.

Holiday Decor



Yay. Christmas in the apartment.

Thanksgiving at Jane and Bill's, Part 3



Anna loves Jack, Lily loves sweet potatoes, and Paul and Bill love football/sleep.
