Christmas!!!

Sorry, mom. I almost called this Christmas/Chanukah, but truth told, in our multi-cultural household, there was much more excitement over Christmas. We did however have a blue and white Christmas tree, and blue and white wrapping paper. It was so much fun seeing Mabel's first Christmas where she had some idea of what was going on. We kept talking about Santa and opening presents and she was really very into it. The best part was being able to say "Do you want to get presents? Then you better be nice." It worked like a charm.

Christmas photo shoot

And this one is not from Christmas, but I just had to capture on video, Mabel's funny little habit of yelling "popcorn" into the fan.

Guess who got a hold of the camera while Mommy was at work

I also have a mildly amusing 40 second video if anyone is interested...

And then Frances had to have a turn. Here she is taking pictures under the dining room curtain where she loves to play.
