Leah and Zoe!

Denver

A trio of cocktails for Lois and her children.

Bringing in the New Year from the warmth
of our hotel room downtown.

Snow Forting

Snow Builders

A bun-wearing snowgirl.

"Sledding" with Daddy

Meeting Luke

Luke and Leah (Nice Star Wars naming for the cousins, right?)

The festive jammie crew.

The nappers.

Christmas Day

Baking with Grammie

The gorgeous fruit flower Leah prepared for dinner.

The attendees (minus the photographer, sleeping Luke, and the non-cooperative Zoe.)

Christmas Eve Festivities

Sledding on Christmas Eve

Hanging with Aunt E

Sorry for the delay in posts. I'm having new computer adjustment issues.

Sugaring the Treats

Zoe sugars the stuffed dates.

Leah decorates the traditional Johnson cookies (with Great Uncle Peter
and a family of helpers).

School Party

Games and cookie decorating with her friends.

Kindergarten Program

(Back row, fourth from the left.)

Leah was super-excited to have one of the speaking parts.
PROUD!

Leah's Ice Spectacular

Leah is in the middle with a red sweater and helmet.
She is proud to have moved up to Basic 3!

Holiday Tea

Trying

It is almost impossible to get a good picture of the girls together.
But I tried.

Zoe's Program

She loved her ruffly dress, her Christmas tree hat, and
the festivities, but she didn't sing a bit.

The Lumber Inn

Enjoying hash browns and bacon at our favorite breakfast place.

Candy House

Working on her school art project.

On My Honor . . .

Leah is officially a Daisy. I was not a fan of girl scouts,
but I seem to have given birth to a joiner. So bring on
the blue vest. (I do love the daisy crown though.)

A lot of blue vest wearing kindergarteners.

The 2010 Tree

And some cute girls that were more interested in their snowballs
than the tree.

Breakfast with Santa

Leah's school has a breakast with Santa fundraiser. They were
both very excited about until they were actually faced with Santa.

Leah braved it (because Zoe asked her to.)

Then Zoe chickened out and hugged the candy cane instead.

The art projects were more of a universal hit.

Zoo Clothes Tree

Leah's Roots and Shoots group decorated a tree at the zoo
with ornaments made out of old clothes.

Posing with the Root and Shoots gang.

Jumping with the joy of the season.
