Birthdays/Christmas with the Phillips clan

We have some nieces with birthdays in December, so we got to celebrate with them early in the month. Then, we saw them again the next weekend to celebrate Christmas. We were glad to see Hays, Ashley, Catherine, and Caroline!











Also, we got to visit Aunt Anne and Uncle Peter at their wonderful house on the lake. The girls loved swinging in their hammock, and looking all over their house for the critters crawling on the ceiling (they have all kinds of sculptures of animals in their house - spiders and lizards on the wall, butterflies in the trees outside, and a bat on their rafters).
