december fun

over the last few weeks jillian has been asking me for crackers (typically when we are out shopping).... i bought Ritz, Club, and even Saltine crackers trying to figure out what she wants..... i was talking to a mom on the playground at the boy's school (she is from Holland - what are the odds, right?) - after talking to her i realized that jillian was asking me for the crackers (with fruit in them) from Holland! i have given her these crackers since she was little and i would keep them in the front of my bag to give her when we were either out shopping or biking home. this mom happened to have a package of the crackers at home and brought them to school the next day! jillian saw the package and yelled "CRACKERS!" she said i could buy them at Aldi here in the states :) truely a 3rd culture kid!



decorating the tree!























it's the curse of the easter egg! the egg keeps showing up in random places - i swear i put it away in the easter box - but it keeps making an escape!




these are highly skilled tree decorators - they promise to place the ornaments directly in the front region of the tree and only as high as Graham can reach.... from the back this tree looks like a pine tree in the forest :) but i LOVE it!












helen puts the angel on our tree!



the angel is made from fabric in my wedding dress train... the pattern came from my mom
