Christmas pictures

Camille loves her nightgown that matches her baby doll's pajamas. Today when we got home from school Camille immediately announced that she was very hot and needed to change into her nightgown because it has short sleeves!

Lily was unsure about opening gifts at first because she didn't like the sound of the wrapping paper, but she eased into the fun.

Santa's coming!

Camille was excited to leave cookies out for Santa on Christmas eve. On Christmas morning she came into our room early. When we finally got up, we told her to wait until Matt got the camera to go into the living room. I thought she was with Matt and he thought she was with me. I saw the lights flip on down the hall and she announced that Santa had eaten the cookies and left a lot of crumbs! Camille was very excited about her presents. Lily wasn't feeling well, but she had good moments and made the best of it.

Hmm, who likes Santa better?

Santa came to Camille and Lily's school for a photo op. while we were at work. No standing in line at the mall for us! Unfortunately for me, Camille announced to Santa that she wants a "Dora Talking House." I say "unfortunately" because Santa has already finished Christmas shopping and the requested item is not a small present. I've been warning her that Santa takes requests but doesn't promise those things, and he did tell her "it's up to my elves." I went so far today as to tell her that he will probably give her something different that's really fun. She seems to be relaxed about the idea. Lily just wants to make sure that this scary bearded man doesn't come to her house!

Camille's school program

Camille was really excited for her holiday program on the "big stage" at an elementary school. Camille was quite the actress, singing loudly and leading the other children in excitement. She was so cute with all of her friends, but they all bounced around so much that it was hard to capture on film.



Frog chair

Here's Camille's hair curly when we took out the corn-row braids that Camille's teacher put in. Camille's teacher often braids her hair during recess. I guess Camille love the attention, and she always thinks it makes her look beautiful.
Lily and Camille are sharing a frog bean-bag chair passed on to us from a friend of Grandma's. Both love the fuzzy frog. Lily is really goofy with the chair, often nuzzing down face first.




I was trying to organize outgrown clothes in Camille's dresser, and I turned around to find Lily sitting in the middle of this mess of books that she had torn off the shelves.

CPA swearing in ceremony


Camille and Lily stayed with Grandma and Grandpa while Matt and I went to Austin for Matt's CPA swearing in ceremony and a get-away night.
