Blog | Christmas 2013!
I know…I haven’t posted a thing since M turned 22 months. I do apologize, but this Christmas season has just flown by! We baked cookies.
And decorated our tree.
And read Christmas stories wearing new Christmas jammies.
And wearing other new Christmas jammies while driving around looking at Christmas lights.
I don’t have pictures of the rest, but we also did B’s advent calendar (a legos version), searched for our elf (“elfie”) every morning, picked out and wrapped presents, and generally had a marvelous (albeit crazy) time (even though, for the second December in a row, M developed a mild case of pneumonia).
Finally, the big day arrived! The girls must have been good for Santa to fill up their gigantic stockings!
Santa has a sense of humor (you can’t see it in the photo, but the nose blinks).
After breakfast, we got down to the business of opening presents. We had to do it in stages, and M had to take a nap in between stages. But the girls were well behaved and had tons of fun! B loved helping M open her presents.
But M got the hang of it fairly quickly (“I do!”).
One happy girl (everything on this child is new, even the underpants…)!
M was also fond of one of my gifts – Bert the farting hippo!
The day after Christmas, we headed to the mall so M could cash in on her gift from Tatie Kat – a Build-a-Bear…which turned out to be a pony…
And while M napped, B cashed in on her gift from Mimi – afternoon tea (or hot chocolate if you’re B)!
And then that night (it was a busy day), we headed out to the farm to see the lights! It was cold…
Mimi and Tatie Kat have left, but we had a great visit with them, and a great Christmas! Ready for New Years…almost…
