Christmas Fun: Christmas Village

Yes, I fit my booty in the train.


So did Jared. Our legs were asleep after the ride.

Christmas Fun: Magical Nights of Lights

Christmas Fun: Tree Lighting

Christmas Fun: Decorating

Chess was good at putting the ornaments on. But we've learned that she's even better at taking the ornaments off.








I caught you unplugging the lights!


Who, me?

Sweet Baby

Lera has been such a fun baby to have in our home. She is so sweet and easy-going (mostly). She loves to be talked to and being held close. She is so wiggly, though, that she can be hard to hold sometimes! We have taken her so many places already in her short life, and she is always so good. Enjoy some pictures of her.

Baking


Chess helped me make a pumpkin cheesescake.


Lera helped, too.


Look at her on tip-toes.


The cake passed the test.
I also made some homemade rolls for the first time that were pretty good.
