Christmas 2011

DECEMBER RECAP:
I think every Christmas keeps getting better. Oli and Maddie make the holidays feel as if we were children again. We enjoyed decorating the tree, listening to Christmas music, dancing, eating lots of cookies and spending time with family and friends.



Christmas show at Oliver's preschool.

Santa visited the preschool. Oli and Maddie walking over to see him. 

Maddie backed out at the last minute...

This was at abuela and abuelo's house in Orlando. I enjoyed resting so much that I didn't take as many photos as I usually do. Mom's food was DELICIOUS as usual.  


When we got home we opened all the presents Santa had dropped off while we were in Orlando.

This was Maddie opening her stocking gifts.

" Forget all the presents, I'm happy with candy!"

Oli was eagerly waiting all December for Santa to bring him a bike.
Nice!

Maddie got her first dollhouse which Brian mistakenly thought would be easy to assemble. He was wrong. Two hours later he realized he was very wrong. Good thing Maddie loved it!

This was a present for both kids.

Fall afternoons and one cold morning

Some afternoons when it's not so cold, I let the kids play on our front yard. They are the happiest when they play with dirt and leaves and roll down the hill. I don't want to forget these simple precious moments.






One cold morning at Railroad Square Art Park.
