Christmas 2011 Part I: Annie and Audrey

This year's Christmas was divided up between family members...getting everyone in one place at the same time is decidedly difficult! However, it was a blast and full of food, love and more love...and, it went wayyyy too fast!

Our time began after a long flight from California -- both Annie and Audrey wanted JASONS!

And some shopping....

Before opening PRESENTS!

Audrey wanted a "Fidget" - its an electronic friend that chats, dances, lights up and well...is very entertaining for five year olds :)

The Happy Face is due to the fact that some of my gifts came from Beekman 1802...more on that later....

Over the next few days of their visit, there was eating, shopping, a pizza party and many good times:

My favorite photo of their visit ---

Audrey and Rudolph at Blue Frog Mercantile:

Topping the day off with a peppermint cupcake at Hesters:

Topping the night off by reading Mommy a story (in THE bed - which she loved~)

It was so sad when they left... but Jen and Scott would be arriving in a couple of days so I felt a bit better about the empty house. To be continued... :)
