Christmas Time Is Here

This is what it's all about. Christmas eve, tearing into presents, and being extra nice because you know Santa is watching.

Christmas Card

We were too lazy this year to send out christmas cards so here it is.


This was an earlier try on the stairs. Can't you just taste the enthusiasm.

"Dora" Haircut

Amelia got a real haircut about a month ago. According to her it is a "Dora" haircut. And everyone else, we get "two daddies" haircuts. Two daddies derives from Hardball and other newscasts that she tolerates on a nightly basis. She uses the term two daddies to describe anything that is adult. Dividing the world into things that are of her age and everything else has begun.

Time to Meet Santa

Amelia was so confident when she finally got to meet the big man. She quizzed him to make sure he really was Santa. You live at the North Pole? You have a beard? You have black boots? You have a slead? You come down the chimney? She was convinced - he was the real deal.

Policeman & Fireman

They have been introducing her to authority figures at school

I like this one because I think she looks like the pope blessing people.

Snowman

Amelia and I made a snowman recently. Not the grandest creation ever but she enjoyed it.
