December Activities

This month has flown by! We've celebrated the Hanukkah season, Andy and I and my parents took an 8 day cruise to Mexico, and while we were gone the girls stayed with their Grammy and papa for 9 entire days! Everyone seemed to have a blast whether they were on vacation, babysitting their granddaughters, or staying with grandparents for the longest trip yet. Here's a few pictures of what we've been up to.

Pitiful Christmas Tree

Since we were on the cruise over Christmas we kind of skipped it this year. We didn't do a tree - mostly because we wouldn't be here to enjoy it and also because the girls are at that age where they'd be messing with it and probably trying to figure out a way to pull it over or climb up it. I figured we could take this year off and next year start the holiday traditions.

This picture had to be taken on or around Christmas so I figure this counts as the "E & E's second Christmas" photo.


Seaside

While Grammy & Papa were watching the girls they spent some time in Portland but most of it in Seaside.
