My shopping buddy!


It was Julia's turn to bring home CB Bear from school. So, he tagged along for all our fun!

Here we are at a local dinner theater attending the children's lunch with Julia's classmates - just the girls.




We headed out later for a carriage ride! First some photos by the big Christmas tree.

We had lunch with Carrie and her girls!

We also got a beautiful snow. Huge flakes and not very deep. The best kind!






Getting ready for Natalie's Christmas program.








The many faces of Julia.






I love the look on Julia's face here.


My girls.



Natalie is in the second row, fifth over from the left. The gold bow is pretty easy to spot.


Here they are singing, "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas."


And one really showed up to surprise them!
