First, I'm going to have to steal some of those pictures. Great stuff.
Second, MAN! Maddy cleaned up at Christmas. What a stash! You will absolutley LOVE the Leapster. My favorite toy ever invented.
Third, is Misha seriously wearing a purple Kansas shirt?
Thanks for including us in your celebrations.

What wonderful pictures! I didn't take very many from the break, but the ones you took are great! It looked like you had such fun. I'm so glad it was a beautiful Christmas for you.
