December 24, 2012

Our amaryllis, about to bloom.

Breakfast with Sarah.








Cookie order!


Looking for clues outside.






Grace had an idea that because there were no gifts under the tree, there would be no gifts on Christmas.  So she took initiative and passed around slips for everyone to draw.  After we had our names, we made gifts for our chosen recipient.  Kate also decided to pass slips, so we had quite a pile under the tree.  I admired their resourcefulness, kindness and creativity so much.


Lunchtime picnic.


Helicopter time.


Evading the chopper.




Kate opened her gift from David, a drawing featuring a man with penguins.


Suki loved her book from Kate.




Grace and her bookmark from David, featuring commemorative quarters.


David's sweet note from Kate.


Kate and her Christmas pin.


Suki loved the cat dollhouse Grace made for her.






What a sweet night.
