Christmas 2012 - Part 1

We had a wonderful Christmas in Memphis this year!  We celebrated here with Lee Lee, Doc and David.  On Christmas Eve the girls entertained us with a Christmas ballet program that they made up and performed.

Doc and Lee Lee taught the kids how to dance while everyone was waiting for me to get dinner on the table.

What have you all been doing?  Do you have any other ideas for us?  Cookie baking is definitely in our future, along with making some snowflakes for Newtown.
