Christmas, Baptism, Birthday

We like to combine a lot of big events in one short time span. First up: Christmas. We visited Rudy, the holiday train at Union Station. This was a big hit. Then we kept our annual tradition by going to Columbia to see Ella, Marlee and Gene at Shakespeare's. That was great as always but too short. Christmas was a LOT of fun (unfortunately I forgot to take many pictures) and then it was back to work/school on Thursday. Adam picked the girls up a little bit early though and they had some fun playing at the house. Doesn't Nora look like she is having the time of her life playing in their new striped teepee? On Sunday we celebrated Claire's 3rd birthday and Nora was baptized at church. Whew! 2013 has been a great but busy year. We are looking forward to 2014 and all that the new year has in store for us.
