Norah's Christmas Gifts

From Great Uncle Bruce:

Gifts from Mommy and Daddy
The Mammut


"I know what I am to do with this."






Norah just realized that her parents buy her books and blocks as gifts.




Not for Norah, but still exciting.

Christmas Lights in D.C.

We were blessed to be invited to go see the Christmas tree and lights in DC with friends from church. We had to make sure we bundled up (although it really wasn't "Michigan cold")

The Missouri Tree


The Michigan Tree

The While House tree. With a train set and town sets all around the tree. 


Bethany, Norah, and Sarah. 






The  Texas Tree






The Indiana Tree



The While House at night. 




They finally started to take the scaffolding off the Washington Monument. 


The capital building.

a D.C. December

Elf hat at Target. 

All ready for Christmas. 

Trying out her track suit. 

Our Christmas tree. You can't tell her, but only the top half has ornaments (other than a few soft ones on the bottom)

Loves playing in her big playroom.

We woke up to some snow. She loves looking out the big window. 

Norah didn't really know what to do in the snow.

We tried to show her how to touch it, but she wasn't interested. 

She was interested in the shovel though. 



Our little worker bee. 







A "are you sure about that" look.
