Announcing...the addition of a new little friend to our family. Meet Jimmy, our new puppy.

Jimmy is a dachsund/border collie cross, and is a new friend for our older dog, Wolfgang. He has already made himself right at home in our house and in our hearts!

Jimmy's birthday is Dec. 15. He's quite a cuddle-bug, and already a bit of a spoiled baby. Maia has even been dressing him up in doll clothes, which he looks absolutely adorable in.

Ho, ho, ho!

It's off to Montana for Christmas for Cameron, Maia and Ella, so we had Christmas at Gramma and Grandpa's house a week early.

Ella opens the gift she couldn't wait for - her new violin.

Ella gives us all a little performance.

One excited little girl!

Gingerbread houses

Maia's class made special gingerbread houses to celebrate the holiday, and she was very eager to show hers off!

Christmas program

Each year, the second grade class at Lewis and Clark Elementary School puts on a Christmas program, directed by their music teacher. This year Maia is in the second grade, and she was cast as a lovely white dove.

The students put on a very touching performance dealing with the consequences of judging based on appearances, and Maia and her friends had a great time.
