We had double grandmas and grandpas for Thanksgiving. First Grandma Connie and Papa Morris came to visit. Then Grandma Judy and Papa Mike. We took them on a tour of the Gates building at CMU and went to the Carnegie Museum.

We did our holiday card photo shoot by a sunny window in the Gates building. Mom took about 400 pictures to get a few good ones. Everyone signed their own name on the card this year.

We've become gingerbread house pros. At Julie's party this year we built a house with a really neat roof. Then we went to the Wombat party for more fun and a cool Wombat cake.

And suddenly it's spring! Hooray! Unfortunately, half of our neighbor's magnolia tree is still lying on the ground in our side yard (one of the casualties of the big snow). But it does make it easier to climb. We dyed eggs and had an egg hunt with our friends across the street.

Maya and Mom sewed a skirt. Maya did most of the sewing herself on Mom's sewing machine.
