Here are the first photos from the Great Christmas Card Photo Round-up. Thanks, Veronica, Tom, and Clark! If you want to send a cool family picture with your home-made card by Lucy (or if you have not received your card and want to remind me to hurry up!) send me an email.
And here’s the card with their lovely description:
“I think it looks like Winnie the poo walking towards the right while holding a stick with a beehive on it, and bees following him.”
Ok, it’s a couple of days late, but that was so that I could get the pictures up. I can’t believe she’s a year old already! I had to go back and re-read her birth story as part of the celebration.
We had broccoli pasta and apples and squash, both of which Samantha could eat and really, really enjoyed.
We had apple pie instead of cake, since she can’t have eggs. (There are eggless cakes we like, but the pie is really good!)
Day one was mostly tracing letter “c” and reading lots of “c” books. And a trip to get ice cream to celebrate. And science with Daddy:
spaghetti bridges
That has nothing to do with “c”, but Craig had to test the experiment he was doing at school the next day.
But day two included…
Dress up
Samantha climbing (that starts with “C”!)
And caterpillar cookies!
It was a delicious day!
Here are a few pictures of the girls and our visit to my parents in Texas.
Grandpa and Samantha.
Blowing bubbles in the backyard.
Uncle John assisting with the water table thingy.
Swimming.
Yes, that is a polar bear in her mouth.
Sunflowers from my parent’s front yard.
She got herself into the wagon, except for a tiny push from me when her second leg got stuck. I fear we have a climber on our hands.
The whole family.
