Christmas 2011

I had wishful thinking about blogging more often, but here we are in Trinidad for a week and I'm just getting the Christmas photos up. We have barely unpacked our suitcases and we will start the packing process again this weekend as our packout starts Wednesday. We are enjoying having PapPap in Trinidad, fresh fish, and sunshine. That will be for another post, though. In reverse chronological order, here is Christmas 2011:


at the airport to head to Trinidad..... and this is just the carry-on's....

The choo choo train in the mall. Nicolas has a pass for 20 rides. Fortunately, it's not just a Christmas choo choo and he can ride again in February.

for those of you who received our 2009 Christmas card, this picture might look familiar....

Nicholas loves his new tricycle--can't wait for spring so he can ride it outside!

Nicholas also loves his very own chair.... we are looking forward to him having his very own room to put it in!
