Christmas Eve 2012

We spent Christmas Eve at Grammy and Pops house and decided to let the girls open their gifts from them today so they wouldn't be so overwhelmed by everything tomorrow.

Darcy got a tricycle (her feet reach the pedals, but not enough to push them yet).

Evie got a Cinderella doll (which Darcy ended up playing with most of the afternoon).

Darcy loved her LOL Elmo.

And both girls got these really cool fairy wings (which go great with Santa hats apparently).

First Hot Chocolate

Evie's class made little baggies of hot chocolate as presents for the parenys. She has begged all weekend to try some so here we are. The temperature threw her off at first, but she soon got used to it and declared, "I like hot chocolate!"

O Christmas Tree

The girls have had fun playing with this toy Christmas tree today, which Grammy got for Darcy last year.

Snuggled Up

They did this themselves. Warms my heart!

Funniest Picture

My boss hosted a holiday party for our department this evening, which was very fun. Everyone brought in pictures of themselves from a childhood Christmas and we told stories about holidays past. The photo above is of me circa 1984, which would make me about 3 years old. (Clearly I knew I was fabulous even back then!) Afterwards a team of qualified judges (a 9, 7 and 4 year old) gave out prizes for "the best" photos. I won for funniest photo, which was much appreciated.

Best. Smelling. Hand Soap. Ever.

A lame post, I know. But since I was diagnosed with minor bronchitis today, I hope you'll cut me some slack!
