Surviving the holidays


Tonight was the last night of David's holiday staycation. We were stuffed full of dinner.

And dancing.


And lots of memories. We kicked off the season with 1 holiday card photo session. Some were not as happy about it as the others. Out of 29 shots, only 1 was good enough to make the cut (this one was not it):


We watched a Christmas performance of 1 elf and 23 singing elves:


3 toys were donated to Toys for Tots:


1 afternoon making 1 gingerbread house:


Witnessed 1 couple in love:


There was a 2nd photo session on Christmas morning:


Followed by 1 private session since we didn't make it to the mall to see Santa:

What's the holiday season without snow:


Or digging for fossils:


And what better way to kick off new years than to have 1 ice skating experience


on the eve with family:


Happy, happy 2012. It's going to be 1 great year.
