Ah, the annual holiday portrait. Well, it takes many shots to get both girls smiling and Maddie also looking at the camera.
After some tries we got a good one.
Christmas fun began on the 23rd with Grandpa, Mimi and Hank coming into town. On Christmas Eve the girls opened their annual holiday pajamas.
Next, cookies and a glass of milk were left for Santa, and carrots for the reindeer (Rudolph the Reindeer Nose as Brooke calls him). Only crumbs remained the next morning...until Maddie came by and swiped those up with her tongue!
Christmas morning, Brooke was a little apprehensive to come down and into the family room, as she thought this stranger Santa was still in the house. But low and behold, he was not, but there were a bunch of presents under the Christmas tree! She proceeded to help everyone unwrap their presents as the morning unfolded. Here she's helping Grandpa.
Keira enjoyed spending the morning next to Maddie...
...who got a goose (stuffed toy) for Christmas and was very happy...though the goose was laid to rest a few days later due to many holes eaten into it and stuffing removed/eaten.
It was a wonderful Christmas and we look forward to the years ahead as the girls better understand the holiday.
Merry Christmas to All!
