Getting Ready for Christmas

As is the rest of the country, we are getting ready for Christmas around here. It can be a little tough with Josephine's birthday just a few weeks before Christmas, but we just stay busy. We made gingerbread houses with the Randolph's again this year. It went much better than last year. We learned alot last year. :) Josephine helped decorate our house and decorated some of her own gingerbread men. She's very proud of her work..

We also had to put up the Christmas tree. It turned into an two-night event because of light issues, but Josephine didn't mind. She did a pretty good job putting the ornaments on the tree.

Josephine is holding two of the ornaments that Grannie Ratch gave her. They are animal bells.

We also got to meet our new friend Wil, son of Jane and Bryan. (A link for their blog is on the right of the page.) It was good to see our friends and meet a new one!

Josephine, Elizabeth, and Wil. Josephine doesn't understand the "no squinting" part of having your picture taken.

Josephine had her 2-year checkup last week. She weighed 28 pounds and was 34 inches tall. Everything went just fine, no shots! Yea!
