::christmas came a bit early::


since we are going to be out of town on christmas day, we decided to celebrate early so we could have a special day together as a family.


our kids are at such a fun age and were so grateful and excited about the whole morning.


we just finished reading charlotte's web with lily and she has been so hoping for a pig of her own. her excitement was absolutely palpable when she pulled her very own "wilbur howden smith" out of her stocking. she adores her new pig.  adores.


crosby d's first christmas celebration. what a gift you are, big man.


merry christmas to you all!!
