Christmas Plaid

Plaid jacket

The girls got some adorable jackets made by Nanna. A huge blizzard prevented Grandma Nan and Papa from coming to Michigan for Christmas but a box of homemade and hand crafted goodies arrived soon after.

Smoke rising


Of course the best part is blowing out the candles and then watching the smoke rise.

Candle chimes


Amelia is watching Christmas chimes that spin when the candles are lighted. She's being supervised closely.
Her cousin Lydia loved the same chimes at this age. When we find that picture of her I'll edit this

Painting


Now some indoor activities. That's more like it.

Blizzard 08


Snow can be fun, in limited amounts. Mom and Dad couldn't go to work because of the snow. After Daddy used the snow blower we tried to have a little snow fun. We lasted about 5 minutes and then back inside for hot chocolate. Amelia's mom wants all viewers to know that Amelia's outfit was pieced together for warmth purposes not fashion ones.

My first snow experience. So far so good.

Sorry, no pictures recently. We all had a terrible stomach bug and no one wants to see any pictures of that era in our lives.
