Tis the Season

Christmas is wonderful every year but always a little better when Bailee, Zach and Canyon join us.  We feel very fortunate because they have come our way three years in a row.  It is going to be very strange not having them around next year.  It will be the first time Bailee doesn't come home for Christmas.  They are already missed.  Here's to 2013 (cross our fingers).

 Christmas tradition=christmas jammies.  This year we were able to find a matching pair for both little ones.

 Oh, what a stocking!  My grandmother has crocheted each child, grandchild, great grandchild, great great grandchild and all the spouses this same stocking, names included.  She is an absolute angel for giving us each this connection with our extended family.  We love her.

Playing with Canyon's new train set.  The kids had fun playing all day with each others toys.

Mr. Grinch

Miss Bea has discovered she loves to dance.  It may have nothing to do with dance but everything to do with her bff, Emma.  But I think she really loves to dance and wiggle to the music too.  They learned a little dance to the song, "Mr. Grinch".  She would dance around the house singing, "You are cuddly as a cactus" all day long.  Emma's mom is the teacher and is absolutely wonderful.  We are so glad they moved here and we have been able to get to know them so well. 

Posing for the Pics.

Here's the whole class.  Emma is the third from the left.  They really are two peas in a pod which can be good and bad.  Depends on the day.  They have the potential of being buddies for a really long time and I sure hope it plays out that way.
