December started out like this...calm, but excited: Christmas is coming, there's crafting and shopping and wrapping and planning, and baking, but a little at the time in early December ( : Natalie and I began enjoying afternoon tea on some days. We unpacked her little porcelain tea set from Nanny and sipped away the hour before Olivia woke up.
Here is Olivia, saying "CHEE!!" which she learned well over the holiday season...
The girls enjoying a cuddle one afternoon--they love to snuggle up together and giggle. What a sweet treat to watch them as happy sisters.
The glee!!! The sheer joy is evident-- we picked out a Christmas tree down the road from us: the barn was full of lovely frasiers at a very nice price! and he delivered for free!
We captured on film, our family, all still, for one nanosecond. Our friends can testify to the feat that that was as they patiently followed us around the neighboring fields waiting for us to stop wiggling and dashing around. In this photo, Olivia is 18 months, Natalie is 3 1/2 yrs, and John is 411 1/2 months and Emily is 364 months. Ladybug is a sprightly 10-ish years old.
