Back home again in INDIANA!

The weather gets colder, the tree goes up. Packages arrive in the mail. Before we even started our trek midwest for Christmas, gifts arrived for the girls:

(from Gigi and Grandpa Gaub)
(from Dave & Aliya)
(finger paints from Aunt Gretchen). The girls had their first experience with finger paints.


Then we switched to brushes.
Then we went to Indiana...
...and saw Andrew's BFF and his son, Ellis. Cutie pie.
At Grandma and Grandpa Richards' house they got to play with cousin Lincoln!
Yeah. There were also presents.
and (filled) stockings
the girls looked through their stockings

Grandpa got a new Colts shirt and a new hat
Daddy got a new apron from Mama
We got the girls some colored pencils and paper, which they tried out
Link!
Nora wearing her new dress
Ms. Allison Corn made an appearance from Portland, Oregon via Logansport, Indiana!
Mr. Bob Jones (NYC via Ft. Wayne) read to the girls.
The Richards household now owns an Xbox Kinect. No controller needed to play the games!
Andrew, playing rally ball
Corn, bowling
...and then it was all over. And we were back in the car, scurrying home to avoid the Nor'easter that we never really had to contend with, thankfully!
