I forgot a few

Justin, here is the picture of E with your gift:

and Grandma Linda was having the boys lay down to 'magically' have a present appear under their feet. The day was all about magic, in several ways. Here are the boys awaiting another gift:

christmas day

the annual tree cutting

Here are a few pictures from yesterday, when we went to cut down our tree.




James and I went to see the Nutcracker last weekend. It was his first time, and he was enchanted. He starts ballet in a few weeks, but has been so excited he has worn his ballet shoes and re-enacted the performance regularly (with E cast as the Mouse King, naturally).


Our piano was also delivered, complete with a ribbon. It's been nice to play holiday songs for the family this year.
