A special and fun Christmas spent with all those I love most in the world:)
 |
| The Carpenters in town for a week (and Ben & Linda too)! The cousins spent a ton of time playing in the snow, including building this awesome fort in our backyard. |
 |
| Claire & Sebby joined the Moms for some Winter Wonderland train action, while the Dads and PJ & Luke went sledding. |
 |
| Meanwhile...sledding |

 |
| Making cut out cookies (and memories!) with Grandma. |
 |
