Thanks to our dear friend Alice who gave the girls their matching dresses for Christmas.

The classic girl in trouble.

Aurélie’s sister Natalie and her friend Melanie came in to town this weekend and went with us to the Switchfoot concert. John Foreman and company rocked the house with their new stuff along with some old classics.

Anna’s skin has some problems so it was great to have Natalie and Mel eager to lather Anna up.

Last weekend we celebrated Nanny’s 60th Birthday! We had a packed weekend, with great food (Pappas Bros. Steakhouse), new furniture (thanks to Ikea) and lots of fun! Nanny likes to say that now she can act like two 30 year-olds, and we think she pulls it off pretty well the way she keeps up with our active girls! Papa does a great job, too, and the girls can’t get enough of him. Thanks, Nanny and Papa!

“Zacchaeus! You come down from that tree. For I’m going to your house today.”

The week after Christmas we travelled to Memphis to visit the Rosebrocks. The cousins had a great time playing, and we had a great time relaxing.
