Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! The holidays started off with Virginia's preschool class participating in the Wolfeboro Christmas parade. She was pretty excited to see Santa even if the winds were going to blow us away. Once again we braved the cold and found our Christmas tree with Ali and Jimmy... we didn't trudge through the wildness to find our tree this year, but spent a little more and found beautiful trees at a tree farm (hot cider included - definitely didn't rough it!) We had wonderful visits from Aunt Lizzy, Aunt Christine and Grandma Rae Rae the month of December. Aunt Christine got to see Virginia perform in the Christmas pageant as a singing angel and Grandma Rae Rae was here for Christmas. Henry surprised us all and rolled over from his back to tummy on Christmas Eve. Every time he rolls over he has the biggest smile and is just so proud (as are we!) Jennifer and Jeremy's pond has been a big hit over Christmas break since the ice has frozen and Virginia has been learning to skate. All kinds of winter sports to do now that we have snow! Finally, Henry ate his first rice cereal today... he will be 5 months in 3 days and seemed to really like it. He is growing up too fast!!

Virginia was pretty excited to get a name tag, fake glasses, a princess umbrella, tea set (for big girls!), twins who she named Sidney and Shelby, and a special apron Grandma made with the letter V on the pocket.
