Christmas is Coming

Winter View

Nine Ladies Dancing:

 Have I mentioned Ariel is in dance class, and how much she loves it?  These rare shots were taken during the December parent viewing class (usually we have no idea what goes on)

Ariel's pose for the camera is happiness

Group shot.  Ariel is second from the end, right-hand side

Decorating the Christmas Tree:

The ceremonially placing of the star on top

Stockings are hung by the chimney with care, and dad fell asleep sitting in his chair (and the dogs did too)

Gingerbread house decorating:

Surprise!

All done!

Elyse's house went crashing down (this is what was left of it)

Ariel's stayed intact
