December photos

Well the month of December came and went in the blink of an eye. We celebrated Christmas at home this year and had friends over for dinner. We celebrated Christmas again with my sister and my mom on New Year's Eve and kissed the year good bye early. Staying up late last year got us into trouble...we conceived Madigan.

Blue all wrapped up in Christmas. He loved shredding the paper.


Kirsten, Madigan, and Christopher. It takes too much effort to get all three of us to look at the camera, with pleasant expressions on our faces, at the same time. This will do.


Madigan wondering who this imposter mom is. It is Alison.

Christopher, Madigan, Kirsten, and Grandma Shirley after the Christmas festivities. Madigan is looking for away out of here.
