Christmas Vacation

We had such a wonderful Christmas vacation. My parents, grandparents, and most of my siblings came up to visit. We did a lot of fun things and had a great time. We loved having everyone here! We went to the Murray family farms and got some incredible fruit. We also got to go to the petting zoo. The weather was great and it was great spending so much time outside.

The snowman we built. Isn't he great!?!

Annalee told Santa that she wanted presents too.




I love holding my little guy.


Annalee loved the face painting she had done at a fair.


Violatte loved her face painting too.

Luke hasn't used a pacifier in a long time. He does like to play with it now and then, though. This is his favorite way of playing with it.
