Christmas Days with p & m

We've been having all kinds of fun this week, from art projects to wrapping presents to working hard on christmas cards.
Here Penelope and her friend Ainsley diligently play piano at their lesson. She's getting really good and learned how to play "jingle bells." i love it.


2 year old Millie is fascinated with all things Christmas, and especially our Christmas tree. Unfortunately a few ornaments have been sacrificed in the name of 2 year old enthusiasm...



Millie elf out shopping with uncle Jeffrey...


I gave the girls some art supplies early so they could make some projects for the grandparents... penelope worked hard on pictures and cards for her grandparents while Millie thought painting HERSELF might be a little more creative. Did I run to wash her off? No! I ran for a camera!!!




No school means fun fun fun! We love when there is no school, because that means fun trips with Babcia to places like the Nut Tree! This was a special destination for me as a child, but unfortunately the only thing that is the same is the name. ah well.
Of course no family outing is complete without a trip to Starbucks!



Penelope LOVED the hobby horses (I rode them as a child!) and of course the Elephant on the carousel.









Jeffrey and I had a blast on the little roller coaster...

It looks like you are having tons of fun! You were in my hometown! Too bad we are way out here. Did you happen to go to Borders at the Nut Tree? My little sister works there.

I don't know how these comments are supposed to work. I came out anonymous last time. I am Babcia.

Ok, now I get it.
I love that last picture of Penelope and myself on the blue and red horse. Can I have a copy of it?
