Christmas, Christmas time is here

 Our family on Christmas Eve

 Our tree

 I love this face!

 And this one too :)

 Taskmaster Dad was quick moving when it was time for take down.  Lila declared, "I'm in charge of the ornaments" and worked hard to empty the trees of their decor.

Leading up to Christmas

 Christmas program at school

 "Away in the Manger"

 Santa visited Central Park

 I've always wanted to rock climb...not as easy as I thought it would be :)

 Cookies and bedtime stories at school

 Decorating cookies to take to the assisted living community

 Sweet Gage gave us a little scare.  So glad to find out he's a healthy 11 year old.

Lila's Christmas performance

Lila began taking a ballet/tap combo class this year.  Her class had a Christmas performance on a big stage and she was thrilled.  They performed to "The Reason Everybody Likes Christmas".

 Our little dancer was excited about all the kisses and flowers she received after the show.

Later that evening Mimi took Lila to see The Nutcracker.  She loved it and couldn't stop talking about the Sugarplum Fairy and even asked for pointe shoes.

 Andrew was so proud of himself for learning to ride his bike.  I don't ever think 

I'll forget his smile and excitement over his accomplishment.
