Wacky Wednesday

"It all started out with that shoe on the wall..."

Thanks Dr. Suess!

Christmas with the Smiths!

After a snowstorm delay, Gramma Sue and Grandpa Jim arrived safe and sound for a wonderful visit. Here are some of the highlights:

First time on the ice

Evvie tried out her brand new ice skates (tentatively) on our private rink! (Maintained lovingly by dadboni)

Grampa & Grandma Claus

The traditional family portrait changes significantly every year!

Stormy Weather

Well the snow was welcomed in Brunswick! We ventured outside for the first ski of the year and some walkin' in a winter wonderland.






Oops!

Christmas with the Princes

Grammy and Grampa Prince came down on Christmas eve so we could all spend Christmas morning together! It was a delightful time.


"T'was the night before Christmas..."


Levi helps mama with her new gloves, and really seems to like them!!


Evvie's all about ponies and her new Christmas Kitty! It seems to be the twin sister of "Black Kitty" who ran away about two years ago.

Ho! Ho! Ho! (#2)

Ho! ho! ho!

Levi was very proud of this project he made with The Littler Dippers. Ho! Ho! Ho! to everybody this Christmas!

Christmas at Railway Village

We took a year off from our traditional expedition in Bath on the Candy Cane Train to explore Boothbay's Railway Village. It was a great day with an old-fashioned steam engine chugging us around- hot cocoa in one hand, a cookie in the other.

Santa visits


All Aboard!
(the artistic edge-blur is really just hot cocoa on the lens. Thanks, Levi!)

Jingle Bells

Saturday was Evvie's preschool Holiday Party. We were treated to a great brunch buffet, and then great music as the kids entered with Santa hats and jingling bells!

(You'll notice Evelyn sort of freeze on the entrance..."somebody's in my spot, NOW what do I do?!!")
