Holiday Festivities

The holidays always seem to find a way of creeping in and consuming all of my normal "Blogging" time... decorating, cleaning, cookie baking, shopping, cleaning, visitors, eating, cleaning... when I do get a moment, it's used to sleep!  So, below is a "photo journal" to catch you up from Thanksgiving to now.
 
Picking a tree at Wal-mart.  How depressing. 
But 10 minutes away and $39.99 was all it took to solidify this decision this year.



This was the only pic we got where Addison wasn't freaking out.  Andrew wasn't thrilled either... but no tears.

 
He's baaaaaaack.
 

Dinner at First Street Alehouse before the Livermore Christmas Parade.

 
During Parade shots.
 

Addison's first paper product mess.

"Oooooo" - her phrase of the moment... always used appropriately.
 As in, "oooo that's exciting!" or "oooo look at those pretty lights!"


Terrible shot of our Christmas lights.

Gram and Pop arrive!

In the minivan - complete with DVD player!!  So sad I'm wanting one of these now.

Waiting to board the Polar Express! 

All Aboard!


On the Polar Express!




 

Hot chocolate...
...and cookies!
They read the book over the loud speaker.


Santa joined us for the trip back from the North Pole!

Conductor Addison
 
 
Asleep at the wineries...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Baking cookies... and pointing, Addison's other current "thing".


 


 
Baking cookies in his undies.
 


Italian Margaritas... our tradition.

  1. OK! Next time, we must get at least one great photo of Gram, Pop and both children! Love it!
    Many thanks to Michael for a fun Sunday at the brewery!
