2 More Years

This summer Michael applied to several residency programs for pediatric dentistry. We just found out this week that he was accepted to OHSU. In June we will leave sunny Texas and head back to Portland. It's a great opportunity for him and we're very proud of him!

Picking our Christmas Tree

We actually went our the day after Thanksgiving to get our tree--I just haven't had a chance to post about it yet!

This is Kate's new face for taking a picture.

All loaded up and ready to go. Apparently Kate thought we were going caroling next.

Kate was so curious about the tree, especially when we brought it in the house. Here she is "helping" Mike again. It was so funny, for some reason she really wanted to sit on the tree and would not get off!

Kate's Nativity

Kate has her own little nativity to play with in her room. Tonight we were cleaning it up and this is how she arranged it. I love the "special" visitor in the back. Definitely something Kate would do.
