December pictures
December is a notoriously busy month, what with Christmas and Big Sister's birthday. Add in a couple of holiday parties, a school Christmas concert or two, a couple of quick trips to the doctor, swimming lessons, gymnastic classes, a busy few weeks at work, a frantic search for a new caregiver ('cause our nanny abruptly quit last week!!) and we've had a pretty crazy month so far!
In spite of the hectic days, we've also tried to have some family fun.
Emma and Big Sister helped to bake some Christmas cookies:
Adding sparkly sugar is serious business:
but the results are pretty yummy!:
Emma was especially helpful when it came to decorating the Christmas tree :)
We also continued our annual tradition of decorating a gingerbread house:
Our visit to see Santa Claus did not go so well....
(hopefully Emma hasn't been traumatised for life, but I have to admit that the picture still makes me giggle)
at least we got a good picture of Big Sister with the Big Guy:
and Emma was much happier to pose for pictures once we got back home:
well, at least for a little while:
(Emma has got the "Pouting-Two-year-old-Look" perfected)
I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you all a warm and wonderful Holiday Season, with our best wishes for a Happy and Healthy New Year!

Thank-you for the fantastic update Laurie. I continue to be amazed at how similar Sawyer and Emma are in their development. In other words...I wished we lived closer as the two of them could commiserate about the trauma of the the man in the red suit experience, and then grace us with their best two year old pouty faces :~)
Merry Christmas Laurie and Eric! I hope you have a wonderful holiday with your two beauties.
Sorry to hear about the nanny - bad news! Cute pictures - Sammy had the same reaction to Santa. :) That's a beautiful picture of Michaela with Santa and a lovely picture of the two.
Merry Christmas!
You pictures and post never fail to put a big old smile on my face. Happy New Year!
