Christmas 2007

Isabel continues to play with her castle. She tells us the "other Grandpa" gave it to her. Christmas dinner.

Is she looking for something or stuck??? Lala, that is Isabel's box, not yours!

Making a mess of my house!

Isabel is ready to hit the slopes or go shopping??? Must be from Grandpa!

Adam opening presents from Grandpa. I think someone went to the Army/Navy store!

Isabel loved the puppets from Aunt Jane.

Are these slippers really for Zinni?

Claudia slept through the entire day of Christmas.Dress up diva!

Isabel opened a few presents on Christmas Eve.

Making some cookies.

Exercising/stretching to work off those cookies.

Isabel loves to hang out with her new sister.

And it is almost Christmas

We had a holiday party with Isabel's playgroup the other evening. Claudia did not get in the shot with all the other kids, but she was there wearing red and being festive. Isabel and her friends all dressed up for the party.

At home...........aka............Adam''s house of females.

At Isabel's school, here the entertainers settle into some games and art projects.

Isabel's school had another holiday program this year. Her class song 'We wish you a Merry Christmas" as they rang the bells they had made. Thankfully there was a soundtrack with this performance because no one was singing!!!

They weren't even pretending to lip sync!!

Brunch with Adam's friends from high school- Amy & Jim with the twins and Chris & Emma with Ella. it was great catching up with them before Chris and Emma move away.

The twins are all grown up!

Early December

Claudia looks nice and warm in the hat and sweater that Nana knitted for her. She has worn the sweater several times. Fits her perfectly.

Isabel and BFF Hannah had lots of fun playing the other day. They took a break to work on a Gingerbread House. The girls had a blast decorating it and it turned out great.

Isabel had an early Christmas before Nana and Grandpa left for home. She got a great castle.....

And Ike the Giraffe...........who is big enough for Isabel to ride.

Isabel helps to decorate the Christmas tree.

Claudia plays hide and seek amongst the trees.

We met up with friends Sean, Cheryl and baby Alex at the local tree farm.

Don't tell my family, but we did get a precut tree!

While Nana and Grandpa visited, we had fresh OJ almost every day. Nana climbed the tree gathering the oranges.

While Grandpa and Izzy watched from below.

While Izzy and grandpa squeezed the oranges.

Delicious.

Claudia takes one of her many naps.
