A Delightful Christmas Day

Happy 2nd Birthday, Jamers!

Merry Christmas!

Alma is 4

Our "big kid" is actually getting big.  Alma was overjoyed to become four and celebrate all day with family.  Below is the last picture of her as a three year old before she went off to bed.

 We celebrated with cupcakes first thing in the morning (Joshua's brilliant idea), then we played with toys (a geo-lacing gift from James), Alma went to ballet practice, we had a party with our family, and even went window shopping downtown with Nana.  A great birthday for a terrific kiddo.  Later in the week, Alma, Nana and I attended The Nutcracker ballet and had lunch at the Hotel Bethlehem.  The following weekend, we celebrated Nana's birthday with lunch and even more cake.  Birthday bonanza!

December Happenings

Beyond Alma's triumphant transformation into a four year old, this month has ballet (each Saturday morning), great toys borrowed from the library, a little Christmas tree for our house, lots of snow and snow days off from school and work (that made for a busy week while Joshua was in California for work) and art projects (including exploring finger painting) to pass the long cold days.
