The holiday season

I didn't take as many pictures this year, as would have liked to, it was a pretty crazy holiday season.  Fortunately, I did capture a few moments that I wish to never forget. 

Ella's first experience playing in snow.

Riding down the banister at Grandma's house.

Mommy and Ella's crazy make-up morning.



 Making cookies and delivering them to those we love, in true Christmas season fashion.



 Making gigantic messes.  Ella didn't even want to eat the dough, only play in all the sugar and flour.



Performing a ridiculous pseudo-ballet to one of my favorite Christmas classics: Tchaikovsky's, "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy."

Generally, I am a big holiday decorator, but this year funds were low, so my Christmas decoration's were humble, but still oh, so magical.







As this holiday season comes to a close, I wish you all a wonderful new year filled with peace, love, and joy.  I hope 2011 brings us all closer to our dreams, and closer to the magical world "somewhere over the rainbow."

what? i haven't told you how much i adore these photographs? i must now. i love the way you three spend such quality time together. i love watching a baby grow up with phenomenal parents. i love that you let her get messy. when liam was a baby i was so anti-mess (or was that him?). i think between the two of our dislikes for being dirty we missed out on a lot of fun. we're making up for it now with finn and ossi around, of course.

i just love you guys. never go too far? can our kids grow together, please? i think that's the best part about family, that special tie. the one that makes it so we will always have an excuse to be together. even if we do live far, we'll always get together. i love it.
