Christmas

Amelia took these herself with the timer on the camera.

Freedman Christmas

After a two-day weather delay, and a few extra hours after Suzie's car battery died, we had a great time celebrating Christmas with Suzie, Tom, Abby, and Grandma Marilyn.

Tom and Amelia made Reindeer Food

November and December

Here's a few of our favourite pictures of the girls from the past two months.

Zoe LOVES to colour . . . 

. . . and to brush her teeth.

Clifford came home from school for the weekend. . .

. . . and met Holly the Elf

We got together with our old playgroup friends to decorate gingerbread houses.

Cookie decorating. . . when Mummy let her.

Visiting Santa

The girls got a few chances to meet Santa this year.  Unsurprisingly, Zoe wasn't too impressed.  We didn't even try to have her sit with him at Church.  She did enjoy the train ride at the mall though.

Christmas Pictures

We had a few attempts at Christmas pictures this year.

First, we tried Target.  Zoe was not impressed, but we got a new family picture for the living room out of it.

 

Then we tried some shots when we got home. . .

Amelia likes to twirl in her Christmas dress

Finally, we tried again in December. . .

. . . and afterwards had a snowball fight.

Thanksgiving

We had a lovely time in Minnesota celebrating Thanksgiving with Grandma Becky, Grandpa Jim, Uncle Mark and Ralphie.  We also celebrated Ralphie's birthday while we were there.

Look! Uncle Mark's holding the baby!

Zoe liked the animals at the petting zoo.

Our annual trip to see the reindeer.

Zoe's first ride.  She was stoic when she was riding, but cried when she had to get off.
