Christmas Day

Thanks so, so much to all our family for being so generous with us and our kids. We are so thankful for all of you! We hope you all had a blessed Christmas!

Christmas Day!

Merry Christmas!

Cupcakes for Jesus' Birthday!

Isaac loves to "cook". We had a great time making cupcakes for Jesus' birthday!

Isaac was introduced to licking the mixing utensils. Yum!

Decorating the cupcakes.

Cupcake anyone?

Gingerbread House

Aunt Fibia (or as Isaac says, "Fibeeba") invited us over to make a gingerbread house together! We had so much fun spending time together, and hope to do this again next year!

Decorating the house with candy. As you can see, the boys liked eating the candy while decorating the house.

The finished product. Can you tell boys decorated this house? Right after I took this picture, this happened to the house . . .

We tried. Even though the house collapsed, we created a fun memory! Not to mention the house was quite tasty! Thanks Aunt Fibia, William, Joseph, Andrew, and Jonathan for having us over!

Christmas outfit, #2

My friend Debbie lent me this little dress with the matching cape. Her daughter Naomi's birthday is almost exactly one year before Abigail's, so Naomi's clothes fit Abigail really well! Speaking of birthday's . . . Abigail is 5 months old today!

This was the only way I could get her to pose so that I could see the dress without the cape. She was not so cooperative this time around!

Christmas outfit, #1

Yes, Abigail has more than one Christmas outfit. Her family and friends are very generous : ) This is her first one that mommy bought her (on sale!). The headband was her sister Rileigh's. I love that Abigail is able to wear her sister's "hand-me-downs" . . . it is such a wonderful reminder of God's kindness and faithfulness to us!

This pose was very difficult to capture as Abigail kept rolling off the pillow . . . on purpose.

Notice her new mary jane tights? I thought they were too cute.

More Christmas outfit pics to come, per Abigail's continued cooperation.

Something has her attention.

That's right! A candy cane.

Studying the candy cane. Somehow, she knows that this strange object should go in her mouth.

Brandywine River Museum

On Saturday we went to the model train exhibit at the Brandywine River Museum in Chadds Ford. Our friends the Johnstons and the Goodsells were able to come with us.

David, Isaac, and Jake all sat on a bench looking at all the trains for a very long time!

Isaac became very excited when he saw trains that he "knows" like James, Toby, and Salty.

Thanks Johnstons and Goodsells for a great day!
