Merry Christmas!


Christmas at the White House was lots of fun this year! We've been looking forward to the big day and it has been fun to talk with Emily about what Santa might bring her. It's also been fun creating some new Christmas traditions together. Emily slept late on Christmas morning. We were lucky - Abby was up at 4:30! When we did get up, she was pretty sleepy but still very excited about her big present - a Dora bicycle! She's been talking about one for months now. However, the best gifts of the day seem to be a package of plastic combs from Amy (she recently lost her favorite purple comb and was very upset about it) and a bottle of Dora bubbles from the Dollar Store! Too much excitement pooped her out and she was exhausted by the time we made it to Donald's parents' house. She kept begging to go home. So here we are, all in our pajamas in front of the fire with Emily alternately building with her blocks (new favorite past time) and riding her big wheel around the living room.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Christmas Eve - Don't you love those pajamas? She looks like an elfin convict!

At long last - the Dora bicycle! It's really noisy - lots of fun for everyone.

She really loved the stocking - and the jazzy Dora bedroom slippers. Are you starting to see a theme develop here?

A new comb! And by the looks of that fuzzy head, she needs one!
