Looking A Lot Like Christmas

Somehow another Christmas has come and gone in a flash.  From the Nutcracker to Elf, from snow to snowman, from ginger bread to guinea pigs, it was quite a holiday season.  Merry Christmas everyone!


It wasn't a white Christmas, but it did snow a couple weeks before.  Here's Sophie and her snowman Olaf.

Matty still won't look at Santa, but Sophie and St. Nick had a long conversation
