Christmas Day

This is an older picture but it's so cute.  
"How can I lay on the blanket AND get in the sunshine square???"


The Christmas morning loot:


Here is the (incomplete) dollhouse from Oly's Mama and Papa.  I'm still searching for the pictures that I have, but on Christmas in 1986 right after I turned 4, my Uncle John put together an elaborate Victorian dollhouse that my Grandma purchased and I had it for years and years.  Tim and I picked out a different model from the same company for our little Oly girl.  My love for John has grown exponentially since starting to build this thing!  And I haven't even put the shingles on yet, which he says almost sent him off the deep end!  What you see is about 7 hours worth of hot gluing, I have at least that much to go.


Santa brought her furniture and dolls and it's been an absolute hit!  Thank goodness!


 More presents being opened and used:



Cutey pie in the afternoon playing with Josie's new bag of tennis balls:


Here's our Christmas Duck!



We kept it super simple for Christmas dinner:
Roast duck, roasted potatoes, roasted brussels sprouts, red wine sauce.


Happy Family!

Chris loves the picture of Josie trying to be on the blanket and in the square of sun light. She will figure out that she can move the blanket into the sun.
