Christmas Break

We had a very fun Christmas break. We didn't do anything really wild or crazy, but we enjoyed spending time with family and relaxing. This is the real reason I decided to go back to school—a three week break at Christmas and the whole summer off. Here are some pictures from the last little while.

Adeline's cute little face!

Adeline loves sharing things with her cousin Jack. Here she is feeding him some cereal.

Here she is giving him toys. She put that whole ring of toys around him. I guess she figures a little boy can never have too many toys.

She loved playing with the fingernail polish at Grandma's house. She would pull them out of the drawer and line them up along the edge of the bath tub. This picture only shows the beginning. Before long the whole ledge was completely covered.

We also found another of Adeline's favorite activities—playing kitchen. She loved making cookies with her cousins. Here she's preparing them to be baked. Note the oven mitt for safety.

Very carefully and intensely carrying them to the oven.

I got a great new suit and some ties for Christmas.

Erin and the other girls got tickets to Wicked.

I just wanted to show off my sweet wrapping job. Hairbrush, $4.99...gift wrapping, priceless.

We took some family pictures at my family's Christmas party. Here is the cute couple.

Here is the cute little family.

Here's the whole Raynor family. Taking pictures with lots of kids is always fun, but I think this one turned out pretty good.

My "remember little league soccer" picture. I actually should have been holding a knee hockey stick because I dominated the 2008 Raynor Family Knee Hockey Holiday Invitational.

The 5 guys laced up the skates for a fun family and friend hockey game.
