Christmas!

We had a wonderful, lazy-day Christmas just the four of us. The girls had a ball opening presents. THANK YOU ALL for giving us such a special Christmas.

It took Abbie a while to wake up and get into things.

 
We ALL loved the beautiful memory blankets. Thanks Gramma K!!!

 
Instant Tea Party--Thanks Aunt Jenn!!!

 
This little glimmer of wonder came over her face on this one. That made me happy. :)

More Snow, More Deception Pass, More Beach

The snow just keeps coming down here. Andy just had to go see what kinds of photos he could get of Deception Pass and as you can see it was GORGEOUS there today. We had to go to the beach again too. I have to tell you, seeing THAT much snow right up next to the beach is just cool. I'm sure my friends from Maine are so used to that, but I'm NOT. I love it.

 

 

 
I've never made a snow angel on the beach before!
