Connecticut Christmas





















The snow arrived one day late, but we still had a memorable Christmas celebration in Connecticut. We visited real live reindeer, met horses, made a gingerbread house, took in a spectacular holiday light show courtesy of Paul Tudor Jones, visited Great-Grammy Krause, and had general fun times with Cousin Sophie and Aunt Jen, Uncle Derek, Aunt Melissa, Uncle Greg, Grammy and Grandaddy and more dogs than we could count.

Christmas morning was a real treat; Patrick loved his new Spiderman bike, Woody and Buzz, and many dinosaur toys. Sophie loves her new easel and butterfly wings, and Madeline loved the excitement in general, and also her new cradle and laying her baby down for "night night."

Donald and I got our present Christmas Eve, when Patrick whispered to Donald "I want to be with you forever," and asked me "Can you be my wife?" This was somewhat tempered on Christmas Day, when we heard him inviting his new Buzz Lightyear to come live with him forever as they both settled down for nap.
