Christmas Eve...

The holiday season is upon us in earnest and our Tink could not be more thrilled. She has helped decorate the tree, practiced draddle spinning for her Hanukkah party at school, posed for our holiday card after being bribed with vanilla wafers, made delicious holiday cookies with Nana, told everyone she knows that all she wants from Santa Claus is presents, and is well on her way to wearing out her favorite plaid nightgown.

Tonight we are starting our new Philadelphia holiday tradition with Christmas Eve service at a local Meeting and then dinner and a slumber party at Nana and Pop's house. Stay tuned for pictures...and happy holidays!

Mac and cheese...

Today we had a visit from Uncle Brent, Sophie and Lucy. Here are the girlies smiling for the camera over lunch.

Thanks for the cool new hat Gamma and Papa!

Back to the future...

Here is our little Tink November 2006, 2007 and 2008--enjoy the time travel!

Happy Halloween...

On Friday we went to Auntie Melinda's and Uncle Brent's for Halloween. Our girlie had a great time running through the neighborhood collecting candy in her pumpkin bag with the big girls--no one could resist our little piglet!

Then on Saturday Tink had a sleepover at Nana and Pop's house while mom and dad pretended to be in their 20s at a Coldplay concert.

Today we tried VERY unsuccessfully to have a family picture taken...we ended up going out for brunch instead--maybe next year?!
