New Light!

This is what our laundry room looked like before Christmas:

And thanks to Jessica, this is what it looks like after Christmas!  :)  

Our Little Family Christmas!

Here is our lovely tree!

Don't worry, it isn't still up.

We took it down at a normal time this year.  :)

Lydia got excited about every present, 

and she shook her little fist in the air.

Aren't they cute!?!  :)

This is one of the things Joel got me.  I love it!  

Habermas Christmas!

Look at our cute little piano player!

She's learning from the best!  :) 

And here is the only picture I took at the Habermas Christmas!  Whoops!

I promise Lydia was having a good time! 

She just hasn't quite mastered the skill of smiling for the camera.

We're working on it!  :)  

Christmas Friends!

Our photo shoot didn't go too well, as you can see from the lack of smiles, 

but the girls sure looked cute in their matching outfits!

Poppa's Glasses!

Lydia was playing with Poppa's glasses.

Then I just happened to snap this photo,

and Jessica noticed that it resembles Ben Folds!  ha!

He is a musician that was on a show that we were watching at the time.

Christmas Cookies!

We went over to the Shibley's house to have a little cousin Christmas cookie fun!

We had a great time, 

and the cookies turned out lovely...as you can imagine!  :)  

Decorating Time!

Lydia was a big help decorating the tree! :)  

The hard part was getting her to keep the ornaments on the tree after we got them all up!

Let's just say, the bottom half of our tree was quite bare this year!  :)
