Annie and Viv from Nonnie

I may need to change my profile picture... This girl.

The Vi's-taken by Aunt Liz

It was a Christmas miracle! The girls were especially cute together this weekend at Claflin Christmas, but Liz was in the room with her camera when all this cuteness happened.  We're always glad she's such a good photographer, but in moments like this she could charge real money and we'd pay.

Not quite Christmas-from Nonnie

Everyone! I just got a new computer for Christmas from my parents! This is so exciting! I can upload and post my pictures again! My updates to the blog will be back online shortly, but until I get caught up (it's so fun seeing pictures from months ago!) here are some Mom has generously shared! 

It's my favorite when we get to have the cousins over to play. :) 

Cooking with the kids

We had a fabulous time making salt dough ornaments this year! I don't know that I actually got any photos of the final product, but it was the making of them that was the fun part.

Nathan got really good at rolling out the dough and using the cookie cutters. The best part was that when we make actual cookies, the battle for "a nutter cookie, Mama" (Vivian) and "Mama, can I have a cookie for breakfast, pleeeeeeeease?" (Nathan) goes on and on, to the point of me a) eating them all or b) throwing them away just to be able to say they are all gone. A smart woman would freeze them. There's an idea.

Anyway, we had fun with the ornaments, even if they did get run over by trucks a few times. :)
