We tried to take a picture of ourselves for Christmas and I didn't really like it but then I sent it to Shari and she did her magic and voila our Family Christmas picture.
We don't have snow in Florida but we do get Mistletoe that grows on the tree outside our apartment. Ryan is the one who spotted it. I am not sure it is even mistletoe, he was probably just hankering for a smooch.
Deya gave Ryan a necklace she made in school it has a big beautiful amulet on it made out of clay.
Lots of fun books to read from Grandma
Evalyn didn't really understand how to unwrap the presents so she just wandered around the room picking up dicarded wrapping paper and tasting it.
Here is Deya after she got to see the presents for the first time. I went into her room on Christmas Eve to check on her long after I thought she was asleep. I went over to her window and looked out. Out of the darkness came her little voice "hi mommy, I know why you are looking out the window. You are looking for Santa Clause!" She was so excited that there were bites taken out of the cookies she left out for santa.
Evalyn is a dancer just like her sister. She really gets into the music. This is her christmas present to me, constant entertainment.
