Have a Holly Jolly Christmas

We all hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas, and Brody wanted to share his sentiments as well (pardon the vacant look in Logan's eyes...we are the household of the winter cold ick)

Brotherly love

more snow!

our jabba

Logan trying for the great escape

Over a foot of snow fell last Sunday, and Brody was eager to help dig us out.

Brody was quite proud of our "Candy House"

Snow Day

Several inches of snow fell today - seemed like a good excuse to bake and play...notice the crumbs around the mouth in this picture

My little snowbunny

Brody asked for his bulldozer and dump truck, which I had put away for the winter. Silly mom didn't realize snow was much better to play in than sand.

This is from a session with our very talented local photographer, Kim Fenn. She needed a subject to practice on her new backdrop - lucky us!

O Christmas tree

a constant source of temptation

let it snow!

We had beautiful, fat fluffy snow yesterday, and the boys

really needed some exercise, I mean, Brody really needed some exercise

Brody was so eager to shovel....

Logan was not so eager for his sled ride

Hailey was grateful for some snow to eat.

Polar Express

We had the most memorable adventure Saturday night -

we all boarded the Polar Express in Rockland, Maine. And to what his wondering eyes did appear, but the train of Brody's dreams. It was his absolute dream come true to ride on the train in his PJ's with Bubba and mom and dad, all the way to the North Pole, where Santa boarded the train, too, and listened to each child's wishes.

House tour

So here is Logan's new room

And the view of our living room/greenhouse...the living room has an open 2 story ceiling to the main floor.

And here is Brody's room

And the view into the sitting room, which is in front of the boys' bedrooms and next to our master suite.
