At the beach, on Thanksgiving morning.
...with Auntie Lolo!
Eliana helping Daddy cut down our tree, a douglas fir named "The Hulk".
Adessa helping Daddy cut down the tree.
The big girls monkeying around at the Johnson's Farm. I should have taken pictures of the abundance of marshmallows that the girls put into their hot chocolate, which is now irrevocably part of the christmas-tree-hunting tradition.
Annea, so happy that we got our tree.
At St. Nicholas night with our most faithful attendees, Kim, Gwen, and Julie!
Annea and Adessa weren't fazed by St. Nicholas, but Eliana was terrified, whether it was of St. Nicholas or of having people looking at her, I'm not sure. Needless to say, I started to feel cruel as I kept shoving her toward him and into the picture, and finally gave up as her wailing got ever more persistent. She is out of frame but off to the side crying loudly.
Christmas headwear, as we put the tree together.
There are more pictures that may end up here if I don't put them in the Christmas photo/card thingy. Stay tuned!
