Oh Christmas Tree!

This year, we got on the ball a little early since we had Lala around to help get us in the Christmas spirit. Everyone loves to go get a Christmas tree...errr, except for Millie:
Christmas Tree 2010!!!
Millie still looked a little skeptical, but she seemed to embrace the whole Christmas tree thing eventually...as much as a few weeks old baby can:
Evie could hardly contain her excitement and danced among the Christmas tree lights
Everyone helped to decorate!
Lala showed us some alternative uses for our Christmas themed coasters:


Cute girls in front of the tree:
and, last, but not least, the most laugh worthy family picture ever. Don't we look great with our chicken pox, blobby post-pregnancy figures, mouths wide open and screaming our heads off?
Happy Christmas Season everyone!!

Cry baby

Sometimes even Lala can't make Millie happy!

But we all try!

Snow angel

When you're almost 2 and it snows, it's magical! After visiting Jim in his chicken pox quarantine, Evie and I took a walk in the fresh snow in the park.

Here she is in front of the best located trailer park in London--Hampstead Heath's very own!
And a few days later, when JIm was over the pox, we took her sledding for the first time (see previous videos). School wasn't out, so we practically had the whole place to ourselves and I think it's safe to say that we all enjoyed it thoroughly:

PS Dear Santa, PLEASE bring me a new hat for Christmas. This one is wonderful, but I've had it for about 8 years and need to update my winter fashion a little bit (we won't even talk about the humpty dumpty style ski pants I'm wearing...)!
