Christmas photos, etc. (finally)

To all our loyal fans: we have been MIA. Forgive me. Here's what we've been up to (aside from job searching, applying for MBA programs, and staying afloat with two little darlings...)

At the zoo:
Notice the dead bunny carcass hanging from tigger's mouth:
I can't get enough of this girl!
London was enthralled with the bears; I was enthralled with her wonderment.
Riding the pony from Santa:
Nesting in her new tent:
Grandma Marsha showing Eden her new doll (handmade by grandma):
Papa showing London some art supplies in her stocking:
Christmas morning with Grandma & Grandpa:

I hereby promise to blog more often!
