December 25, 2007

Examining the latches board they opened last night (with Mary's little duck accompanying them, of course).

Grace finds some chocolate inside the truck.

Promptly ordering the chocolates next to some of her stocking loot.

Suki shakes her ribbon wand.

Looking at the finger puppets that now go with their Who Stole the Cookie book.

Grace is thrilled to discover the duck puppet.

A kiss from Dad as Suki keeps looking for more toys.

Showing Suki some stars from Mom's stocking.

Dad shows Suki some bacon salt from this stocking.

Examining gifts side by side.

Grace and Suki both loved shaking the chocolate covered espresso beans.

We found a Fisher Price clock just like Mom had when she was young.

I loved giving it to Grace and she loved playing with it!

Helping Dad open a present.

Ready to see what's inside.

These girls loved helping out and tearing the paper.

We couldn't help but let Suki run around with this Merry Christmas tag on her bottom for a few minutes, it was just too cute!

Looking in at the excitement.

All smiles.

Trying to get into her new xylophone.

Helping Dad open the crate.

Stupid wire ties...

Practicing playing...

...and practicing eating!

There was lots of sharing today.

Opening another gift.

Trying to figure out the chimalong.

Making some Christmas music.

Suki helps out.

Looking through The Lorax.

Sweet girl.

Looking inside her new castle blocks.

Dad shows Grace how to use her abacus.

Trying to keep it from Suki.

Our abacist at work.

Looking serious.

Suki practices unstacking the rings.

Making sure she gets the ring off before Grace begins "helping."

Checking out some new blocks.

These blocks are so beautiful, neither girl could resist them.

Grace looks so grown up here!

Smiling in the sun.

Realizing the mallet can also be used on the abacus.

Back to the latches!

Tonight's PlayDoh party while Mom cooked dinner.

Grace had lots of fun commissioning Dad to build many new animals with all of her new colors.
