some Christmas snaps

Just a few from Christmas. I only took pictures Christmas morning, so we missed all the other nice visits we made in the three day Christmas marathon, which is a shame. I'll do better next year. I hope to have lots more Charlotte and Grace pictures next month, especially the Florida/Disney trip. The past two months has been so busy, I definitely neglected shots of the kids. I suspect they appreciated the break.

Grace rooting around in her stocking. She got all red lollypops, which she LOVES. She goes around saying "Wed lollypop! I yike it!" Say "lollypop" outloud to yourself replacing the "l" sounds with "y"s and you'll get how she sounds when she says the word. Adorable. Say "lullaby" the same way and you'll pass out from the cuteness, I guarantee it.



Grace playing the the Thomas the Train that Grandma brought. She got a little saturated with all the presents and sort of hid in there for awhile Christmas morning.



Charlotte stirring.

Just a cute snap of Charlotte.

Cookies at Nana's

The girls and I joined Allison and Nana this past Sunday and decorated Christmas cookies. Charlotte was very excited about it, but she only lasted for about 5 cookies. She was really just trying to get to the eating part. Grace kept it up for quite awhile. She really liked shaking the sprinkles on. Allison baked the cookies and they turned out great. They let me take about 6 pictures, so here they are. I should try to scan in the pictures Nana has of me and Alex when we were about this size.

First Snow

Charlotte was excited to make a snowman last weekend with our first snow. It was great snow for packing. She specifically asked for a picture of her with the snowman, and then she posed with it like this. Very cute.
