A few holiday pics...

Sorry for the long delay. We had a great time during the holidays, with travel to MN for Thanksgiving and Ontario for Sinter Klaas (which is early-mid December; it's the Dutch "St. Nicholas" day celebrated by Rob's extended family). Then, for our first time in 9.5 years of married life, Rob and I enjoyed Christmas in our own home! It was so glorious to be at our own church for Christmas Eve service! My parents and brother came to visit over Christmas and we had a tremendous time.

I am going to post just a few holiday pictures. We left our camera in MN at Thanksgiving and got it back after Sinter Klaas, so we may get some photos from others later on to post (hint, hint, Beth!). Also, in the next week or two I've got both a video and another set of photos getting ready to go. So enjoy this little taste for now!

Here's Meredith dressed up for her preschool's "Thanksgiving feast." She loved the hat.



This is a great picture to illustrate one of Meredith's greatest passions: airplanes. We were on our way to visit grandparents and Meredith was walking around the airport with her little backpack, finding places to look out the window.

Christmas Eve! This is the cutest little dress ever (if I do say so myself), worn by the cutest little girl ever! She has gotten very good at "posing"...many of her camera-aimed smiles are now a little extra-smiley like this one.


An adorable giggling girl...


Hope your holidays were as great as ours! I'll update again soon!

we'll try to send some pictures from Sinterklaas. Thanks for getting the spelling right. Most people murder it.

OUR LITTLE DOODLE!!! She is just too cute for words. We sure loved being at your house for Christmas. Give little miss personality a great big hug from Grandma and Grandpa!

She is so big! I just have our wedding reception photos for reference. I guess a lot changes in a year, in a young child's life!
