The more the merrier...

The training on proper gift opening technique starts early at our house...

Finnegan...our handsome, sweet cousin...

baby's first Christmas...

a dolly that blinks...

a silly drinking straw from a little girl's stocking...

A grandma and her grand daughter..

big boy cousins Finnegan and Garrison...

and one very, VERY handsome man.

Christmas past....

 What a Christmas it was...

American Girl doll was EVERYWHERE...

not quite sure how we lived in this house before these dolls.

Little girls with matching pajamas like their dolls...a HUGE hit!!

 New books and crafts...so very special for these little girls.

Two dolls have never been so loved.

They eat with us, go out and about with us, get dressed with us, go to sleep with us, take naps with us, play with their animal friends like us, comb their hair with us....this list could go on, and on, and on and on...

It was a special weekend with lots of family and lots of love. 

Very merry Christmas...

Happy Christmas from our home to yours

Merry Christmas to you...

Elliot just wanted to say:

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU!!!!

All I want for Christmas is...

You could get her a big, expensive something or other for Christmas...

but I wouldn't bother...

all she really wants is the box it came in.

I believe this to be a universal truth of childhood.

When will Toys R Us get it and just start selling a huge selection of boxes this time of year. 

Christmas Concert...

Twinkle, twinkle Christmas star...how I wonder what you are....

Elliot's favorite song she sang at her Christmas program this year.

She sings loud and proud...

way to go little bug.  

First Christmas...

A very special Christmas indeed

Caged...

She's an animal this one...

Sink...

There is just nothing quite like a slippery little baby in the kitchen sink...
