Christmas 2012

We had a great Christmas season, even without the snow!  Here are some of our favorite pictures:

New and Old Christmas Traditions:

 Camille plays with the Nutcracker collection after adding her own.

 Camille in front of the piano recital refreshments she helped to arranged.  The christmas piano recital is a "new" tradition this year, and we had the audience sing "The 12 Days of Christmas" while one student accompanied.

Jeff frosting sugar cookies.  This is an old tradition that he does with the kids.  Sugar cookies make me nervous.

Christmas Morning

 Celeste with her mush dreamed of unicorn pillow pet, and the turtle Aunt Erin made for her.  She exclaimed, "Look, they're friends!"

Celeste riding her bike from Santa.  She just climbed on and started riding this Christmas surprise!
