attempt #2

we re-did christmas eve on the 29th.

christmas eve

here were the only ones well enough to go to the christmas eve service:  

we still had some chinese food...

...and opened a few presents.

cookie swap

perhaps zoe is too little to participate in a cookie swap...

christmas train!

(apparently i only took pictures of michelle & zoe.  i guess they were just the cutest ones there.)

christmas traditions

my favorite new christmas tradition: fondue and then watching elf.  we got laughing so hard...

my not favorite new christmas tradition: everyone having a stomach flu on christmas eve.  hopefully we won't repeat that one.  [no pictures of that]

occasionally she cries

i was taking all these super-cute pictures of zoe before christmas, when mathias came home from work with a really loud 'HELLO!!' it startled zoe and made her cry. so dominic took papa to time-out. he sat mathias down in his (dominic's) time-out spot and said,

'now listen. zoe is little. you have to be careful of her.' then he gave mathias a hug and kiss and told him he was done with time-out.

too cute & hilarious. my favorite part is the 'now listen.'

sweet zoe

always smiling!

birthday celebration #3

wow! i forgot to post pictures of dominic's party with friends! in summary: he loved it and we had fun.

and zoe hung out with gus
