Celebrate the Season

Merry Christmas from our family to yours! We were very happy to have Uncle Geoff visiting with us this year. Not a white Christmas, as the temps were mild and in the low 50's over the weekend. Opening presents was an all day event so we took a break and walked to the park mid morning. Avery seemed to understand and have more fun this year but Halen opened about two presents and was done. Santa did bring the two things Avery asked for - a telescope and a shovel (?!) She is really into going on adventures these days. Halen on the other hand, is really into throwing anything he can into the garbage can. At least he was a good helper when it came time to clean up the wrapping paper!

Stocking time

The beloved telescope.


Are you ready for some football? I call him our little linebacker because he's eating us out of house and home.


Wow, Santa even threw in a pair of binoculars with the telescope!



On the way to the park we stopped to watch all of these geese and became a little obsessed with trying to figure out their flight patterns and where they were going. (no alcohol involved, really!) Chris gave me a new lens for my camera and Geoff took this shot. He was giving me tips on panning.

Halen has discovered the slide. Can't even tell you how many times he went down it. Over and over and over...


Owl be home for Christmas...
