Jingle All the Way

Did you know this cutie pie could sit up? She can. We still pad her with pillows because she occasionally falls and frequently gets pushed/knocked over. I love a sittin' up baby!

Kevin got called back into work just as we were about to eat on Christmas Eve (grrrrr! I hate it when people forget to pickup their medicine when the pharmacy is open!), so played some games while we waited for him to get back. Madeline and Camilla could do "suck up the m&m with a straw thing pretty well, and Eliza kind of figured it out, but Natalia eventually requested a spoon.

Our Nativity--looks like that lamb is getting better treatment than the baby, doesn't it?

Hooray! Santa pulled through and brought Eliza the Land Before Time (two movies on this one--she was on the extra good list).

Dress making kit for our fashion designer.

Camilla has been asking for a glue gun for many months. She also got foam sheets, foam shapes, and jewels to use. She is a crafty queen!

Melissa and Doug "Write-A-Mat" placemats were a hot item at our house. Dinosaurs, planets, letters, presidents, states, place settings, we are getting an education while we eat, how about you?

The first decorated dress. This one was soon followed by many, many others. She has been dress-making non-stop since Christmas! She is totally hooked. She tells me she doesn't even care about Book-It any more. She doesn't want to stop making dresses and read her books!

Camilla has been gluing non-stop. Santa hit the nail right on the head with gifts for these two. I don't know if they have ever received something they used so much!

New Christmas clothes! (Anna obviously loves hers).

Anna, Natalia, and Eliza also received Melissa and Doug food sets--Anna is learning to sort her four food groups. So far she has milk, rice cereal, peas, carrots, and peaches!
