Cousin Love

The girls spent the holiday with their cousins! Love!

Christmas Fun

Still bumming that all of our Christmas photos are lost but here were two at least that were covered from our trip to Syracuse on Christmas day. The Kees group from NC were there too so it was perfect.

Miss Ashley

The girls and the teacher's aid in their classroom. They really love her.

Christmas Cuties

Okay, when you are this cute how can you not be on Santa's good list!

Miss Moo

 

Snowman Treats

Treat for school, the girls had fun making them with me.

Malta Christmas Fun

Santa (or one of his helpers as the girls now say since they notice the differences), face painting and balloon pets, what a fun afternoon. Miss Moo was here too but still dealing with recovered files from our computer issues and unfortunately none had her. Bummer! But I assure she was having a blast too and dressed adorable too.

Quick Response

Bundled up, I took the girls to check out the Quick Response light show on Route 9.

Cookie Time

We invited our friends over for some holiday cookie baking! Celebrating both Hanukkah and Christmas there were a rainbow full of sprinkles. 7 toddlers with flour and dough (okay 5 older kids and Ben and Maddie but still!) on my new kitchen table and all went well! It will definitely be a tradition. The finished products were delicious!!!

Lights & Decorations

When daddy was back from his work trip, the girls got in their pjs and helped us decorate the tree.

Clutch shot! All turned out ok as there was a good recovery by dad.

Grow With Me

The school had a yearbook contest with the theme being "Grow with Me". This is Ava's amazing drawing which shows Grandpa John and her on the beach in Cape Cod with the water and a crab. It means the world to me that she picked my dad to be in this special drawing as it obviously was a memory she loved.

O'Christmas Tree

Our annual trip to get our Christmas Tree with Grandma and Grandpa Pondillo! This year the trip was to Ellms Farms. The girls saw Santa but the real highlight is picking the tree and watching it go T-I-M-B-E-R when Daddy and Grandpa cut it down (with a push from the girls).

Family Photos

We got so many great photos this year during our family photo session. Here are just a few of my favorites. Happy memories this will bring for year to come!

Gobble Gobble Fun

We had some gobble gobble with Aunt Sara, Uncle Brian and their crew this year. There was good food, lots of dancing and even gingerbread houses. Love our trips to Syracuse.
