We haven't posted any pictures or updates from Christmas, so I thought I would do that now. We had a wonderful holiday - it was especially fun for me this year as I really understood what was going on and it was fun to share it with Baby J too! I was an expert helper in decorating the Christmas tree and I also liked to help arrange and rearrange the gifts under the tree. Mom was very surprised that I didn't try to open them and understood that we had to wait until Christmas. We baked (well, really mom) homemade Chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies and left them out for Santa. Funny, but Santa seemed to really enjoy them and ate a lot of them - even ones from the canister in the kitchen that we didn't leave out for him. That wasn't really very nice to go into our kitchen canister, but I will cut the old guy some slack since he worked really hard that night:) Mom and dad seemed especially satisfied and didn't seem to want any sweets the next day...hmmmmm.Santa brought us lots of fun things to play with. Mine and Baby J's favorite gift was a play kitchen, but I am also very fond of my huge Bruder garbage/recycling truck and my Spiderman bedroom slippers. (FYI - I have now entered a huge Spiderman phase so watch out!!) Baby J loved his Backyardigans pirate ship and we both received matching wool caps.
Mom and dad say that they must be doing something right as they seemed pleased at the fact that I continued to say over and over "That was so nice of Santa to bring us these gifts". I continued to say this for days.
We also went to a Menorah lighting this year. Daddy took me and we went with Grandpa and my uncle and cousins. I wasn't sure what was going on, but there were candles and fire and it was interesting to me and Baby J. Daddy said that Baby J just pointed and was interested in all of it.
I hope everyone had as happy a holiday as we did. Enjoy the pictures.
