After talking to Santa and breakfast, the girls made these ornaments:

Gingerbread House Decorating

Oh, you better watch out...



Bella just learned "thumbs up" and tries to use it when she can!!

Trick-or-Treating

Now that I should be posting Nutcracker pics, I'm posting trick-or-treating! I'm GOING to get caught up this week!


Andrew's first loot inspection!

A BIG day!

Last month I. & G. had a really big day - their first time on a real horse (although she was a tiny little horse)! I think this spring they'll start taking riding lessons with their friend Angel. They loved it!!!
