Blog | The Holidays!
So, after Fall came the Holidays. Seriously, I am not really sure what happened to all those days of October, November, and December. They’re pretty much a blur. I apparently took quite a few pics tho…
The day after Thanksgiving, we took our annual trip to a local inn that always has lovely Christmas decorations to take photos. B wasn’t feeling well, but she was a trooper!
Sweet sisters…
They also enjoyed playing with the grand piano…
That weekend, the girls decorated their personal Christmas trees.
B patiently showed M how…
Our Elf then promptly got into trouble for not showing up on 1 December, and for not moving the second night after he did show up. Naughty Elf…B set him straight, and he was suitably apologetic.
The following weekend, we picked out a tree and had breakfast with Santa’s Helpers.
And, of course, we had to decorate our tree.
B also got her first Christmas present – I took her to see The Sound of Music at a local theater!
We donated to a charity the theater group was promoting, and our donation enabled B to be in a photo with some of the Von Trapp family children.
The weekend after that, we took the girls to their joint Christmas present – Disney on Ice. They were excited…
And then that Sunday was Santa Lucia day, so the girls decked out in their finery.
Somewhere during all of this, we went shopping, and M helped out the Salvation Army.
And, of course, we had to drive around to see the neighborhood Christmas lights, where the girls (per tradition) wore their new Christmas pjs.
We spent New Year’s Eve with friends, and New Year’s Day in our Gator finery. We didn’t expect it to work, but we were hopeful, and we had fun anyway!
