 The weather turned Christmas-y the day we got our tree

This year we took care to place most ornaments above the range of cat paws

 Tessie was soo excited to turn 5

 Her birthday was the same day as her school's holiday party

 She had a party at Jump On In

 The older girls dressed up to see the Christmas Revels

 We used supplies at Wilson Farm to build this

 At our real house, we're getting the back deck replaced and enclosed

 First skate on Menotomy Rocks pond

 Trekking on the Arlington Reservoir

Oops, double foot mother mucker 

Even though cats apparently lack the sweet taste receptor, Tundra loved the gingerbread house

Using the hockey sticks was an adventure

but Erin is getting the hang of skating

We had a mini ice storm on Christmas Eve

Erin's final in-town soccer team

 We went out to Cape Cod for a weekend getaway. At the ocean beach we lucked out with the late afternoon light for a family photo shoot.

 Plymouth Rock continues to not impress
