holiday highlights

Tomorrow the new year officially begins as it is back to school for the kids,  back to work out of state for Dan , and really, finally letting my heart prepare for the arrival of baby gal in 12 weeks (or hopefully less) !

A few pix for the memory book...

 Juliet, looking thrilled and wearing the handmade coat by Jamie B.
all ready to go to the kids' school program
 Christmas crafts with Dan.   Fail.
 The ever growing Hopkins family
 The kids get a visit from Santa,  again Juliet not so thrilled...
 but she'll happily open the presents!
 Just a precious one here of Danno.
 Truly a special moment as Drew read aloud from scripture,  
and Joy recited from memory -- the birth of Christ
 My little bro Ross sipping Fresca from the moose mugs
 All gussied up for the school program.  Necklace and button down collars included.
Such a good sport,  hanging out with Santa so the 
little ones will still believe :-)


finally, Drew and his weather station.  This kid LOVES weather reporting. 
and how could I forget the forced family foto in front of Grandma's tree. 
and for the sake of consistency,  Juliet looks just thrilled.

Juliets coat is so cute!

The Christmas crafts look like they would have been delightful.

And, our Dewey's are very similar :)

In pics, it looks like you had a wonderful Christmas filled with lots of memories...let 2011 begin :)
Have a good week my friend!
