Train Ride

We had a wonderful trip on the train to and from New York and New Jersey.
Ramona thought the train was very exciting especially when the lights on the train would turn off and on. She laughed.

What a Merry Day!

We thought of all our family on this day!

We hope that you also found peace on this of all days.

Ramona spent a part of the day in her new sweat suit from Andy and her new Hat from Grandma A! Thank You!

Ramona was visited from Santa via Montana/Worcester and he even made a stop downstairs to leave Ramona treats!  She felt very lucky to be so remembered.

Tomorrow she will go sledding in her new sled, in her new snow suit, and her new hat and later will fall asleep reading her wonderful collection of books.

Thank you,

Santa's!

CHRISTMAS

Hello Friends!

This has been such a fabulous year for the three of us. It has been wonderful to share our moments with you.
We are excited to have our first christmas with Ramona. For her, everything is fascinating and amazing. She really can't get over the tree in the house. I think she'll be sad when we take it out next week. I think I will too. Everything we've done to prepare for the holidays and the time we have spent with people we love has been better this year as we share it with Ramona.

Today, Christmas Eve, we finished baking cookies and played monopoly. Matthew won.
We dream of someday owning a home with a fireplace where we can hang our stockings and look at the warm flames while we sip cocoa. We don't have that in this wonderful home, but as an alternative we sat by our oven as it self cleaned today, and that was pretty nice too.

Merry Christmas.
love
Marykima, Matthew and Ramona.

The following pictures are some early gifts and amusing moments from and with family.

Snow

Ramona's first Christmas tree.

As the story goes,
Matthew and I and our little baby bucket piled into the ol'jalopy with good friend Beth in search of the finest Christmas tree in the world. or at least New England.

We went in circles all across this fine land until we found the perfect one, in a tree lot at Allandale farms....

the new pajama's

In Ramona Quimby, she once received new pajama's and was so amazed at the softness and fluffiness of them that (usually had beezus's hand-me-downs) she wore them to school under her clothes....there is a whole chapter on how hot she got in the layers of clothing and the aftermath and you can read the book if your curious...

Our Ramona just got new jammies...she hasn't asked to wear them under her clothes but she does love them and is it possible that at 8 months...a baby knows when they look a-dorable in something?

Cheers on the frigid Tuesday morning!
