Holiday Roundup

We didn't take a ton of pictures over the holiday season, but here is a few moments that we did capture!

The perfect Christmas scene (snow was falling outside too)

Opening presents with the help of Abey

I apologize for my serious lack of holiday pictures.  I have nothing of Hanukkah and none of our dinner on Christmas Day.  I definetly need to get better about remembering to take pictures!!

The Little King Gets A Queen...

...sized bed that is!  We decided to move Graham into a queen-size bed (with a rail).  He really enjoyed napping in the larger beds at both sets of grandparents' houses, and we were finding his toddler bed a little small to fit the larger stuffed animals he was wanting to sleep with.  The mattress (mine) and bed frame (Michael's) had been set up in Michael's parent's guest room for the last few years.  They were nice enough to let us have them back, so we didn't end up having to spend a bunch of money on a new bed set.

Somehow M got everything loaded onto and in the Prius

The Artist

Angie, Graham, and I painted Christmas ornaments, did apple stamping, and ball rolling art (is that even what it's really called?). It was Graham's first time painting, and he jumped right in!  Definitely something we will be doing again in the future, maybe we'll even make a tradition out of ornament painting with our favorite Aunt!
