Let the Fun Begin...

With Christmas only 10 days away, we have been in crazy-busy holiday mode. Despite Abi having back-to-back double ear infections, she has been a little trooper and has still managed to enjoy many of our Christmas traditions and holiday fun. So far, we have visited Santa and his reindeers at the zoo, saw the drummers (& falling snow) at Snowflake Lane, made Christmas cookies, decorated the Christmas tree and even managed to squeeze in some shopping.

Here are some recent pictures, with the exception of Snowflake Lane - I forgot to put the memory card back in the camera although it was probably a good thing since Abi cried throughout most of it - complaining that the "music was too loud". It must have not been too bad though because she has been begging to go back ever since.

Great Pics! We were in Bellevue last Friday night for an office party and were *lucky* enough to have to walk through Snowflake Lane and I agree with Abi, the music was quite loud! :)

That picture of Abi looking at the snow globe just melts my heart! The magic of Christmas :)

Susie - Great pictures! Did you take pictures with your camera even without the card? My cameras have a bit of internal memory that will save pictures which then must be uploaded via USB cable instead of just removing the memory card and inserting it in the computer or printer.
