The "Christmas Gardens"

This year's trip to Longwood Gardens was magical... extremely cold... but magical nonetheless.

We decided to make it an every-other-year tradition when we took Aidan the year he was born. At that time, it was the Truitts and Calveys, with a 9 month old Aidan and a pregnant Nicole. This year, Josie. 18 months, joined us for the fun... And Gavin, 4.5 months, was Daddy's little koala bear along for the evening.. Sarah also brought her Billy, 32.5 years old, and he may have had the best time of them all. :)

Make a wish in the fountain, Jos!
Special Daddy time
The Brazills are great stand-in parents!
Aidan loves his Donald Duck. :)

I love this.
Is that a Lily, or a Truitt?
Beautiful flowers, beautiful family.
Oh Christmas Tree!
Look what I found in the woods
Such a gentleman... Aidan insisted on holding the door open for the long line of people behind us!
Could have taken thousands of pictures of the beauty that is Longwood, but this one will have to suffice!
Aidan loves his Aunt Sarah, too. :)
Papa Bear and our Koala Bear
Daddy did shave off his bear beard a few weeks after this photo..
The big kids.
See? Best stand-ins, ever!
Smitten. On both accounts.
What better representation of joy is there than "throw-your-head-back laughter"??

I wonder what new baby will be joining us for Longwood Gardens, 2012?? ;-) Stay tuned, and stay classy!
