Happy Holidays, Family and Friends!

Here's our Top 10 of 2010:

10. Another great year in St. Louis--the farm, the zoo, the botanical garden, fun parks, fireflies, wonderful friends and neighbors

9. New adventures in gardening (for Carrie) and home improvements (for Luke)

8. Opportunities to serve at church with the Primary children and the young men

7. Alex's favorites: trains, balls, books, chocolate milk, his hand-me-down Barbie trike . . . and chattering to us about all of them

6. Katie's favorites: preschool, bike rides with Daddy, her baby dolls and critters, dressing up as a ballerina, and giving our gerbil lots of attention

5. Abby's favorites: reading, reading, and more reading; drawing, playing the piano, and riding a two-wheeler (without training wheels!)

4. A fall trip to Nauvoo, Illinois, to learn more about our pioneer heritage

3. Visits from both sets of grandparents :)

2. Summer road trips to Colorado and Utah to see love ones (lots of family bonding time in the car!)

1. News of another big move ahead: Cincinnati, Ohio, (summer 2012) for Luke's pediatric radiology fellowship! (you're not cool unless you live in four different time zones for your medical training . . . )

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Love, the Linscotts

Thanksgiving Visitors

Grandma and Grandpa Linscott joined us for Thanksgiving!
~"The Spread"~


Moving on to Christmas preparations with Grandma . . .

A chilly visit to the zoo . . .

Snuggly jammies and carols by the fire . . . very fun!

It's always great to have visitors!!

Trimming Our Tree

See? Everything always goes perfectly smoothly around here . . .

It's good we snapped this picture, because the ornaments didn't stay on the tree for long. In Alex's opinion, why have them dangling from a tree when you can be pushing them around in a doll stroller all day? C'mon, guys!
