Christmas 2013 and New Year's

Happy 2014!
We already had a couple of cold snaps so we are done with this winter thing and ready for spring, but before we get to that, let's recap the fall of 2013.

First we had a lot of mud and also the big vacuum trucks picking up our leaves
Then we went ice skating and we even saw a penguin on the the ice and we moved from Fall into Winter.
For Christmas, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Max paid us a visit and he even brought a blonde Santa with him.
On Christmas Eve, Emily played an angel at church - and Max missed all the fun checking out the facilities.

Right after Christmas we went to MA to check out the snow situation up north and Emily and Max had some time to play with their cousins.  We also went to Portsmouth, NH, so Emily could see the hospital where she was born, where Mama and Papa and she lived, and where we liked to eat.
After that, we had a New Year's Eve party at Grandpa's and on January 1 a wedding.  It was fun to have so much of the family gathering together.  And then the snow came - it got very cold and very, very snowy which was lots of fun.

Upon coming home, Emily decided it's time to finally have some space in her mouth so on the first day back at school, she lost her first tooth.  Another milestone in her life checked off.  Way to go, Emily!

But enough of the talking, here are the pictures.
