Merry Christmas!

Here are a few pics from Christmas morning in the Glynn house... JP opened Legos from Grandpa and Grandma and then a fun JP-sized table from Nana and Papa and was utterly overwhelmed :-) So...the rest of the presents have been slowly but surely appearing -- even Mommy and Daddy's tractor set had to wait until the weekend to give him time to finally put his fun Legos down! Oh, the simplicity of toddlers -- why can't this last forever?!?!?

Chamonix 2008 - it didn't disappoint!

We had such a great trip to Chamonix this year... Filled with walks through the woods, sledding, fun friends, cheese, crepes, drinks, skiing, more sledding, playing Scrabble, reading, relaxing -- we couldn't have asked for a better week!

I did my best to minimize all the pictures -- but there are still quite a few! Enjoy the show...

P.S. -- if you click on the little "conversation bubble" in the bottom left-hand corner below the pics, you can view some captions that I included...

Trier's Christmas Market!

Here are some pictures from our trips to Trier's Christmas Market...we all loved it so much, that we went back a second time before Mollie, Derek and the kids had to leave. Lillie, Emilie and JP really enjoyed the train ride down there and the Merry-Go-Round :-) Watching the three of them interact was adorable :-)

Anyways...plenty more pics to come of their wonderful trip to Germany. Mollie took most of the pics, so we'll have to wait to get those from her. Other than that...keep checking back to see pics of our trip to Chamonix (next week) and Christmas!

JP, Lillie and Emilie building a snowman with the Daddies!

Matt and Derek couldn't resist getting the kiddos all bundled up to build a snowman! The snowman miraculously stayed alive for the entire stay of their trip...he endured a rapid weight-loss program during those 10 days, but as far as the kids were concerned, he was doing great!

Orenhofen's first snowfall!

I finally discovered the best way to get Matt out of bed in the morning...four words "It snowed last night!" Right before Mollie, Derek and the kiddos arrived, we had tons of snow fall -- it was beautiful!!! Before eating breakfast, we bundled up and went out to play in the snow :-) Now that JP understands that the snow is unusual, it was really fun to watch him play around with the pups!

Anniversary trip to London...

Sorry we've been MIA on our blog... Here's a few albums to catch everyone up with what we have been up to. More to come in the weeks ahead!

Matt surprised me with a trip to London for our 5th Anniversary (I know...we can't believe it's already been 5 years!) Anyways...we stayed at the same hotel, ate at the same restaurant and ended up at the same spot on the Westminster Bridge where he proposed 6 years ago. It was a perfect weekend -- it couldn't have been better!
