These flashlights turned out to be great stocking stuffers.

Ready to start giving orders.

A kiss break.

And then a break for chocolate.

Grace loved this book about a new friend for Gorilla...

...and then she saw the friend himself!

Just so happy.

Pulling books out of the shelf.

Tinkertoy heaven.

Kate's jack in the box.

A kiss for Dad.

Grace shows Dad the calendar they made for him, with photos and some of the things the girls love to do with him best.

Delirious on the ottoman.

These bilibos were a huge hit -- Grace and Suki opened them and started playing with them in so many different ways!

Old Navy had the cutest shirts: here and here. They were just perfect for Dad and his girls.

Kate enjoys a biter biscuit.

Animal pancakes from this pan. Thank you Aunt Tina for the great idea!

Kate so clearly wanted to be part of the action...

When Dad picked her up, though...

...Suki was not too happy about sharing Dad's attention.

We had such a lovely Christmas and hope you did too.

For those who asked, our recipes for Christmas dinner came from here and information on the Bach Oratorio can be found here.
