Selected photos from Christmastime

Our pre-Christmas time in the states was very busy and full of lots of seasonal fun!  Below are just a few shots from the cookie decorating party we hosted for five 2 year olds (went of without a hitch, thank you very much!) and our Christmas celebration with Grandma and Grandpa.  We also took the kids to the Santa Wonderland at Bass Pro Shops, which did NOT go off without a hitch, but we did get one photo of the kiddos with Santa. It is not what one would call a good photo.

Merry Christmas!
Finally - a nice photo of Finn and Mommy!

Cute as a bug - thanks for the fabulous leg warmers, Grandma!

A little special Daddy-Daughter sing-a-long time.
Cute antlers - again thanks to Grandma!
All smiles!


Its hard to get these two looking the same direction in any photo, much less looking cute. This is how most of our photos seem to turn out - blurry Finn, cheesy-smiling Annie.

Pre-cookie decorating snack.  Let's front load with protein!

Thank goodness everybody had their own helper!  Annie's best friends all came - Sofia, Max, Nolan and Sammy Grace.

Note to other parents - little individual cups of decorations are a must.
 
Trying to get some photos of Finn on his 6 month birthday - with a a little extra "help" from Annie.

He loves Sadie!

Not too sure about the idea of Santa, though...

Our not-good photo from Bass Pro.  We'll take what we can get! 
More photos to follow from our adventure to England!  We had a very merry English Christmas, full of mince pies, cousins playing beautifully together and visits with old friends.
