we are having a wonderful and relaxed holiday so far, with a forecast of more of the same. lee-lee, papa rick and nana are showering us all (especially the boys) with lots of love, great food and fun presents. we're on our fourth night of hannukah punctuated with christmas eve and day, followed with more hannukah. what could be better?!? the boys think every present is a "choo-choo!?" and have adeptly learned the words "anna-ka," "norah" and "dee-dee tee, ights, pretty!" thanks to hannukah presents, their new favorite things are "pay-doh!" and "paint!" just wait until they see those gleaming red new trikes papa mickey and family got for them - oi vay!
we truly hope that no matter what you choose (or choose not) to celebrate this season, it is a time abundant with love, content, friends and family.
sending our love,
tracey, jordan, abel, oskar, matilda, ally and romeo

just because - the boys love wearing headbands and have this bizarre obsession with lifting their legs in the bath. water aerobics 80s style, anyone?
our first night of hannukah - trains, trains and more trains.

it is awesome that the boys get to roll all the holidays into one at this time of the year. lucky kids. we have similar choo choo obsession in this house, it runs in the blood along with their testosterone. man, they look so gorwn up.
happy holidays to you all. the yates fam
Sounds like tons of fun, guys! Ahhh, will there ever be enough trains to go around?
I'm a bit jealous of your warm weather, as I was really hoping to leave the snowsuits and snowboots at home for the holidays. But they made the trip to Portland with us...and arrived 15 minutes early, despite the pouring snow.
Sending one big ol' hug to you all from all of us! Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas, Silvermans!
Much love,
C, B, R & F
Merry Christmas!
Love the pictures. The bath one, for whatever reason, makes me think of the Karate Kid. Maybe it's the straight blond hair with the headband, I don't know. But it cracks me up!
