Hopefully

We hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year. We have many more pictures to upload and HOPEFULLY we'll do that soon but until then, enjoy these!!!

Christmas with the Pelto family

Here is Lilly's doll that coos and babbles. It, surprisingly, hasn't driven mommy and daddy crazy yet, but Madalynn was overheard saying to the doll, "Here's your pacifier, you've talked enough for today."

Madalynn and Austin checking out his new toy.

Snow Play

Perfect example why we don't get to go out a lot to play in the snow- Lilly WILL NOT keep her gloves on. Drives mommy crazy!

More Baking

Taking a break to scan the sales ad

Madalynn had to have just the right pieces for the gingerbread house.

Lilly "helping" decorate the tree. Her idea of helping was to take down the ornaments Maddie would put on. Thankfully that only lasted a day and then she left them alone.

Maddie took her job of decorating the tree very serious. We did need a lot of ornaments this year- had to hide all the bare spots on our "Charlie Brown tree!"
Although I shouldn't complain, it was free.

Waiting for the orchestra to begin playing our favorite Christmas carols.

O, SILENT NIGHT
