I want to give a super big Merry Christmas to all our Doodle Letter Exchangers--love the pictures in this year's crop of mail!
This holiday season we spent celebrating all December long. Writing letters, making ornaments, tea with Mrs. Claus (Solo Mom Status, with a room full of crazy kids running around and Elena and Vivian in different directions--not my best showing), making a gingerbread house, making Christmas cookies, watching The Nutcracker (or, as Vivian calls it, The Dancing Cracker--the Baryshnikov/Kirkland video edition)--it was a wonderful month of celebration, togetherness, and creativity.
And it was a very busy time, especially regarding Elena. She had a rough patch of moving around post-op/post-casts, but overall, she was a great patient. Between that, Christmas, family, work, and home, there wasn't much time to blog.
Here's some highlights:
Visiting the Clauses (Vivian refused to sit without Nana)
Jason's Holiday Work Party--this is the best picture I got
Sledding after our first snow
E and Viv at the "after nutcracker suite" gathering with the Charlottesville Ballet
E with the Sugar Plum Fairy, The Nutcracker Prince, and Clara
Christmas Morning--E and Viv play nicely (!) together (!!) with the "Dollhouse Castle" from Santa
Viv's Flute--thanks for that loud gift, Grandma and Grandpa
Grandma and Grandpa have better pics, so I'll put them here once I get (find) them.
