Christmas

I have been terribly negligent about posting because we've been so busy! Grammy and Papa Harry were here for a nice, long Christmas visit, and Susu and Ga also came to Raleigh for Christmas Eve.

According to Lil, all of her Christmas wishes came true - she got all sorts of toys from the Cars movie. Reid was also pretty excited about his new train set and big wheel, but there was definitely a little toy envy going on once he saw Lil's cars.

We had a wonderful holiday - definitely a great end to 2007!

Lil was high on the holiday all of December - especially the last day of school, when they had doughhuts and hot chocolate and watched the Polar Express - in their pajamas. Santa even dropped some frozen bells down from his sleigh for the class!

Lil sang with the cherub choir at the Christmas Eve service and spent the rest of the night belting out five or six lines from her favorite. "Hurry, shepherds, to the manger bed!"
