Bath time fun

Mollie was goofing in the tub tonight!

Mollie and Santa

I melt!

and for the flashback to 2008...

Here come the holiday photos

She finally discovered the tree :) and we spent the afternoon cuddled up under it wrapping gifts and reading.

SNOW DAY!!!!

Can't beat the surprise of waking up to snow in early December in Dallas! Mom and child #1 (dog) were a bit more excited about being swept out of their bed and thrown into their winter gear than Miss Mollie. Check out the winter wonderland and our confused daughter who had a hard time sitting and standing in her heavy winter gear!

Happy ??? Holidays!

With the assistance of a BBQ tong, Dad topped the tree with our star! We were able to get the lights on the tree before Mollie went to bed, but the next day she dressed up to meet Santa and we tried to get a couple more tree photos... she wasn't in the mood :)

almost a smile???

The Grizwald's

We loaded up the pick-up and headed east to try to duplicate one of my favorite Wisconsin traditions... cutting down the Christmas tree! Although it was a few degrees warmer than it was in the Midwest, Mollie and Charlie were able to take a hay ride out to the tree farm and roam around while helping us pick out a tree. When we were about an hour and a half past planned departure, Mollie was no longer fascinated by one large green tree after another and we couldn't find our front runner, we just cut down the first tall tree we saw.

Here was Mollie's first choice:

And her approval of our final selection:

Always interesting to see how it looks when you actually put it in your house... hopefully it will have at least one good angle :)

The Thanksgiving Regatta

The boys enjoyed the day after Thanksgiving sail, while Mollie bundled up with the ladies, looking like everyone's favorite Star Wars character!
