A Merry Christmas to all

We have been over (several) rivers, through a few woods, to and back from Grandma's house. We enjoyed wonderful hospitality with Kerry and Barbara. We were able to see Jack's sister and her family in from Colorado, as well as both of his brothers and their wives. Caroline had a cold and was a little out of sorts at first. But, as you can see here, she was able to enjoy her family. Here she is making sure that her Grandma is fully informed about all of her baby dolls' needs. So fun. We were blessed by time with family as well as rest and relaxation.

First haircut

I couldn't take her hair being in her eyes any more (or that her hair was constantly in her mouth or runny nose). So, I decided that it was time to give Caroline her first haircut. I think that it turned out pretty cute with the little bangs, right?

Wheeee!!

Caroline had her first sledding experience yesterday. (She was able to stay toasty warm thanks to this snow suit from Nana). At first she was completely opposed. But after the second or third run, she got pretty excited about it. I have to admit that Mom had as much fun as she did.

For the parents among you

Caroline is very proud of herself this evening. She used the potty for it's intended purpose (which, by the way is not unrolling the toilet paper incidentally). She is very excited. I'm not holding my breath for any actual potty training. But it is fun to see her so excited!

Christmas cheer

This year, we have two Christmas trees--the "no touch" tree and Caroline's tree. She didn't pull it down last year. We will see how it goes this year. She had a great time "directing" where the ornaments should go with very determined "right here" directions. Compliance required some modifications since all of her directions were within 2' of the floor.

Transformation complete

Thanks to our wonderful contractor Steve Forbes, our kitchen's transformation is complete! (Well, it is all done but the unpacking). We have a dishwasher that washes, a big new sink, a stove with all the burners working and best of all, you cab just about fit two people! We are really excited about the new look. We are also grateful that the drier no longer vents into the kitchen wall!

Beginning of the Christmas season

Break out the glitter glue, markers and crayons and the garland. It is time to decorate for the Christmas season. I'm taking a Christmas tree my Aunt Janet gave me years ago (it has been on of the longer used child hood present incidentally) and helping Caroline decorate it. Right now she is covered in (washable) glitter glue and markers as she decorates our construction paper ornaments. We'll decorate her tree with some treats later today (after the glitter glue finally dries).
