Merry Christmas Eve!

It's been a very white Christmas here in Dubuqueland, with snow coming down all day and probably putting us at nearly 25 inches of snow for December. After lots of time spent playing inside and out, Claire and Lise are nestled, all snug in their beds, with visions of sugarplums (or not!) dancing in their heads. Before Kate and I settle down for our long winter nap, we figured we'd share some pictures from last week's Christmas celebrations and today.


Lise, advertising for LL Bean water bottles, a great gift from Nana!
