Merry Christmas!

Our first Christmas at home with Esther was rather uneventful, but relaxing. We didn't travel anywhere or have a big shindig, just the three of us.

Christmas Eve was a beautiful sunny (and cold) day. So we headed to the park a block from our house. Of course Esther had to partake of her favorite playground activity: swinging.

Esther got to drive Daddy around for a change:

"Look, Dad, I'm not even watching the road."

Investigating the bare tree branches.

Whose turtle is the fastest?

I think it's a dead heat.

Check out E's new shoes (Daddy was ordered to wear her other pair):

"Come on, Dad, get up and walk around with me."
