Holidays in Review

A quick (ha!) recap of the holidays:


Two cute elves:
Decorating gingerbread houses:Three days before Christmas we lost our cat Scout. She was fifteen years old and had many health issues for a long time. But she was greatly loved (especially by me who had her for fourteen years) and will be greatly missed.Believe it or not, this picture was taken only a couple of years ago when we were getting our photo pages ready during the adoption process. My friends might be shocked to see Scout so active!

Happy Birthday Jesus!

The cousins:

(they are really looking at the TV and watching the superhero film they made, not staring at all the presents!)


Over winter break, Aunt Sarah took the boys for a sleep over, stopping first at Chuck E. Cheese (the boys had never been there) for lunch and fun:





New Year's Eve found us visiting the zoo to see the new lion cubs. Even sleeping they are adorable.
