Christmas

Christmas is so much fun!  I adore hearing the hymns and the fun Christmas songs on the radio this time of year.  I recall last year hearing them as early as Halloween which was a bit weird but enjoyable nonetheless.  We came down to Virginia to be with some of Richard's family and we've had a nice time.  This place is so beautiful!  We are in Ford's Colony in Williamsburg, VA.  I love our rooms!  The kids love the pool and the hot tubs.  It took a bit of coaxing though to get Cliffton to come with Violet and I outside, in the cold rain, to the hot tub out there.  It was worth it and we had some fun.  On Christmas morning, Richard and I loved watching the kids open their presents. Azure even got to rip them open this year (she's 18 months). Cliffton loves his new spy set - watch (I think its his favorite), flashlight, walkie-talkies, binoculars and oh so cool sunglasses (to be worn at night of course :P ) He also loves all of his playdough -thanks to Santa and Uncle Matt and Aunt Felicia. Violet loves her Princess castle - Thanks Grandma and Papa! Her dress up shoes from Azure are very much loved too. Azure really likes her octopus/ball toy that counts and names colors too. Its kinda funny - Azure also REALLY loves Violet's princess castle and Violet REALLY loves Azure's octopus. I think they're doing a trade...
Richard really likes his backscratcher. :) I loved spending time at the fabulous lunch buffet in Colonial Williamsburg and then picture taking and running around outside afterwards. Its been a LOOOONG time since this mama has done somersaults!! And in super tight jeans! Seriously a great feat. And yes, the jeans are still in one piece, thank you very much Jess (well, all of my sisters).  



Pics to come.
