Holidays Merry and Bright

On the night before Christmas, all through the house, every creature was stirring, making gingerbread men and a house! We had a great holiday season, kicking off with a balmy afternoon at the ice rink at Southglenn. The Gales, Grandpa Moore, Penny, and Mom and Eric all converged for skating/observing, and lunch on a fine afternoon. All the advanced skaters gallantly took turns running FFM around the rink, Uncle Byron was his favorite by far (note his feet aren't touching the ice...)

Christmas morn dawned at a perfectly humane hour, with adults and kiddos bright with anticipation. The much wished for Woody and Buzz were indeed under the tree, it took no time at all for them to start flying around the room.

Cousin Audrey (and her parents) were here for the week, and she and FFM were great at making each other get really, really, really silly.

Lunch treat one afternoon was Casa Bonita! The food never gets any better but it's totally awesome all lit up with Christmas lights and I have a whole new perspective watching the divers and gorilla show with amazed two and three year olds. I thought they might explode with excitement.

We rang in the New Year with a trip to the Children's museum, some snow, and some crafty hats (Audrey was not a fan). The bubble room at the museum was a favorite, the kids are actually standing in a giant bubble in the top left photo.
