Christmas 2015


 By Christmas it was still fairly warm. This picture above is us on Christmas Eve. The weather was pretty nice - hence the short sleeves - so we decided to hike at the Wissahickon.


Pictured right: Lilia and Alex, Christmas Eve, on our way to church.









Pictured below: Presents have been opened (in about 20 minutes), it's barely 7am, but these two are knee deep in Lego building. It's as good as it gets!

Later Christmas morning we headed over to my brother and sister-in-law's house. I had made Ellie and Olivia these really special learning books. Ellie will be going to kindergarten in the fall (wow - already!?!) and I love education. I learned a few things from volunteering at The City School, and from Pinterest. I was so excited for them to open them and start learning!

My new cowl!!!

Claire and Naomi had more fun with this cardboard box (isn't that always how it goes). They were playing "train".













We used a selfie stick to take a family photo. We are a big group of people!
As you can see it was still fairly nice out, weather wise. No jackets! Alex was so disappointed there wasn't snow. I feel ya buddy.

Karen and her fiance Jesse came into town for Christmas. It was so nice to see them and spend some time together. They are getting married in October. We were getting excited talking details!
