Christmas day

We spent Christmas day at our Gramee's house, where we were posed in front of a Christmas tree one more time.

After lunch we had more presents! And Baby John got to chew on some wrapping paper.

Christmas Eve

We went out to our Aunt Sis's house for Christmas Eve. We wore our Christmas jumpers from Aunt Karen, and we were adorable. Just adorable!

John came, too, in his sweater vest best.

We had a really tasty dinner: lasagna and beef!

And Baby John got to sit in his first high chair.

Christmas treats: Grand Rapids edition

We made chocolate-covered pretzels at our Grandma and Grandpa's house.



Yum!

Things to wear

We got monkey aprons! Monkey. Aprons!

We were still not quite as lucky as our Uncle Steve, who scored this terrific Superman Snuggie.

Goofy faces

For some reason, it was also Goofy Face Day.

Trip to Grand Rapids

We stayed at Aunt Karen's house. We got to turn on all her Christmas lights!! And watch ducks freeze into Murray Lake.
After that, we had presents!



Lots and lots of great presents!

What now?

Big boy

My name is Baby John. I think I'm a nine month old.

Christmas treats: volume 3

Sugar cookies!


Fun to decorate, too. And then our favorite part:

Christmas treats: volume 2

We take our cookie dough seriously.

Very, very seriously.

Age is just a number

Little brother, am I?

I remind you that 'little' is a relative term, girls. And I'm gaining on you.

Anna took a turn reprising a classic moment from my infancy.

Where are you dragging me now?

Where are you dragging me now?: Christmas tree farm edition!

Christmas tree farm

We took a snowy trip out to Marmion to get this year's Christmas tree. We got our first trip on a sled, courtesy of the guy selling trees and our Da.

We enjoyed that sled!

Our Mama and Da found a nice tree, so we gave our approval.

While our Da roped the tree to the car, and our Mama and John huddled by the campfire, we took off on a snowy hike. What a good time we had!
