Zoo trip

I've been dying to take the kids to the zoo and today was the day!

We started watching these cuties get some milk

Downtown - Post Christmas

 The day after Christmas we headed downtown... First stop, Macy's light show:

  

Then on to their "Dicken's Village"

Lunch at Reading Terminal Market

I tortured everyone and insisted on a tour of City Hall.

But this was first:

Christmas 2015!

We had a lovely, quiet Christmas with Uncle David (who I didn't get one picture of!)

Uncle David hit a homerun with the Calvin Johnson poster

Big kids gift = guitar

We are very blessed.

DPP 12: A Christmas Choir

This year the littles have been part of a small choir

and we had the blessing of singing at a nursing home 

just up the road from us.

Charlie read part of Luke 2

Amelie was amazing chatting with the residents.

So much cuteness!

Near the end I could see Charlie was not doing well.  

I bolted up front to catch him just as he fainted.   

Another December, another Charlie story.
