Decorating the Tree

We put up the Christmas tree last weekend. Karoline is very excited about Christmas. In fact, I think she's been talking about Santa since July. She was a super helper. The tree looks great. We are hoping to visit with Santa on Sunday when we go to Pullen Park to ride the Holiday Train. She has her list ready & she is determined to sit on his lap this year. We haven't had a picture taken with Santa since she was 6 months old!


Julianna's first look at the tree. So far, she's pretty much left it alone. She is more interested in the snowmen that are around the house on her level. I love this picture because it really shows how crazy her hair is. This is a pretty normal "do" for her, although the dry air & static aren't helping right now. Poor girl. Hopefully she'll grow into her hair!


Gingerbread House fun

Karoline & her friend Ally from next door built a beautiful & delicious gingerbread house together. They had a lot of fun decorating it & did a great job. (And, no, it wasn't 90 degrees outside that day. In fact, it was quite cold & rainy. Karoline just thought it was the perfect day to wear her Ariel sundress. Don't worry Grandmas...she didn't leave the house with it on!)

Getting started.



What a great job!



"Cleaning up" the leftovers!

Julianna's first Turkey Day

Julianna spent her first Thanksgiving at the Outer Banks with Daddy, Mommy, Karoline, Ma, Pap Pap, Grandma & MeMe. We all had a great time. Julianna enjoyed a turkey dinner puree!


A new onesie to mark the special occasion!


Waiting for dinner!
