We spent our Thanksgiving at Deep Creek Lake with Jesse's parents. It was a lovely quiet weekend. We went to dinner at a fancy schmancy restaurant, and all enjoyed not having any sort of mess to clean up.
We learned that Olivia has developed a fear of Santa, and would not sit on his lap any of the times we happened to come across him this season.
An Elf on the Shelf came to our house, and brought the kids their new Christmas pajamas. I'm not sure if he helped at all, but the kids enjoyed having him around.
Graham celebrated his birthday Super Mario style. (And I may do a whole post on that, because I went all out!)
We all grew Mustaches.
Olivia just kept on getting cuter, (and got potty trained over Christmas break!)
I went through the trouble of getting us a nice family picture, so that I could send out a Christmas email, I wrote up a whole thing and got it all ready to send out, and then I didn't send it out, and it just got so late that I was kind of embarrassed to send it out at all. (So Merry Christmas from the Markham's!)
Some things that we didn't get pictures of: Christmas! (I didn't pull out the camera once the entire time apparently!) It was our first Christmas in our new home, and we celebrated by not leaving the house, and making everyone come to us. It was wonderful. We had Jesse's parents and sister come for a nice Christmas Eve dinner, and then they all came back the next day to hang out for a bit.
My brother Tim and his family finally moved to Virginia! So we were able to hang out with them on New Year's Eve. We had a great time, and look forward to many awesome get togethers for many years to come!
And that's pretty much it. We have had a pretty low key winter this year, which is just fine with me!
