Catch up

We have had so much fun getting ready for Christmas at our house! Today, we had some of our adopted college students over to decorate cookies that Evelyn helped to roll out, cut out and then ice! She did a great job!

We put up our Christmas tree the evening of Thanksgiving, after we had a wonderful meal at another family's home from church. As you can see in the background, Evelyn helped hang these ball ornaments, and managed to put most of them on the same 2 branches. We decided to leave them there for the effect.

Granny Burns sent the girls these matching dresses. Evelyn was so excited, saying, "Its so fancy!" This dress definitely meets the "twirling" qualification.




We went to the LA zoo the day before Thanksgiving. It was a beautiful day, and not very crowded at the zoon.
