Christmas part 1
Posted on 21 January 2010
We spend Christmas eve & day with my in-laws. A great time was had especially by the 2 little ones. It’s great to have cousins so close in age (1 year apart), they really are interacting and playing now. It’s so much fun!
Santa arrived!
This was the tree after santa arrived. I heard a saying somewhere that there are 3 stages of Santa in life:
- believing in Santa
- not believing in Santa
- becoming Santa
I have to say that I am loving stage 3 immensely. It was so much fun to see their faces in the morning, though at 1.5 and 2.5 I’m not sure they totally realized what was going on, just that it was something special.
Angel!
Not surprisingly Sam made out like a bandit. Among other items she received wings, a tutu, a crown _and_ a wand. She is now a mini Abby Cadabby / figure skater / whatever comes to mind that day.
Poof!
She also received a camera so she can now take pictures like mommy does. It is very interesting to see her pictures, not only for what she finds but to literally see things through her eyes. The world really does look big from ~3ft off the ground.

It will be interesting to see what she does with the camera as she gets older. In the mean time the tutu and wings are a near daily adornment and I hear that while we were away she ran around the university where my mother works wearing them. No doubt putting a smile on the face of anyone who saw her. Gift giving doesn’t get much better. I hope stage 3 stays this enjoyable for a while.
