Fah who for-aze!

Welcome Christmas! We've watched "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" about half a dozen times this season, thanks to two girls who never tire of it. To be honest, neither do I.

 
 Spending Christmas Eve with family in California (thanks to the magic of Skype).

 Christmas morning. Can you imagine a prouder new mom? 

 Well, maybe this one.  

 Amalia testing out Andy's stocking stuffers, so to speak. 

 Snow!

Guess how long this peaceful side-by-side scene lasted. Actually, this house has a lot of potential for some sibling togetherness.


 
Lily was impressed that Santa brought this item on her wish list (pants with a skirt attached) since, as she admitted, it doesn't actually exist. According to Lily, Santa's elves had to make it. 

 Lily is one child for whom clothes are not a disappointment.

 Appreciation for (and from) the arts. 

 Contrast Lily's painting style...

 ...with that of her sister. 

 Already mixing the colors. 

Norman Rockwell would be proud.

In the words of wise Dr. Seuss, "Christmas Day is in our grasp! So long as we have hands to clasp! Christmas Day will always be! Just as long as we have we!"
