I'll be better at posting next month
First, some catching up.
Over the past month, E has learned about this thing called "unwrapping presents." Here's one of her first Christmas presents, sent to our home (and thus opened early). Thank you P & T for sending us a present! E enjoyed opening it. (This picture was taken about two weeks ago)
She thought it looked just perfect. Here she is showing it off for the camera.
And here she is modeling her new fleece. Perfect for a snowy and cold Christmas!
A smile to say "Thanks T-Dawg and P!"
Christmas Eve Service
Christmas eve at the church E's parents grew up in. E is participating in the children's story and song. (She contributed a few dance moves and screeched heartily at moments. She prefers to think of it as "singing along." She's offended I said "screech" and is taking over the writing of this post.)
Christmas Eve with the maternal side of the family.
Just like grandpa.
These "present" things again. This paper looks like fun.
Grandma got me and my cousins all p.j.s. Great grandma got me my first doll. (Both pictured here.) I love the doll. I thought the P.J.s were comfy.
Christmas Day
Last minute wrapping with paternal grandma.
I can help you Grandma!
See?
Stockings at Great Grandma's house.
My mom was really excited about getting this book.
My cousin and I had fun.
But the best part about Christmas and Grandma's house was, hands-down, the dog. I learned how to say "dog" my first day here and haven't stopped inquiring about him. "da? itdadug!!!" (Roughly translated, "Dog? It's the dog." or "Dad? It's the dog!!!") "da du" "do" or "da dug" is almost always squeeled loudly as I charge towards my target. ("Du," "do" and "dug" all mean the same thing, if you couldn't tell.)

It looks like you had a wonderful Christmas! We're sorry we missed you, but you won't be sorry you missed us. The flu hit both sides of our family and we were all puking our guts out for a week. Did you enjoy the snow? Everything is more wonderful in MN - even puking.
GUSH!!! The ones with her and Grandma Karen are particularly excellent, I must say.
