First of Three Christmas Celebrations

Our first Christmas celebration was on Christmas Eve, Eve at Mark's mom's apartment. This was both Hadley and Gweny's first round of opening gifts. As expected, Gweny could care less. Likes the paper most and really just preferred running around the room. Hadley, well she was more focused on quantity than actual presents. She would open it, chuck it and say "next present or more presents." Hadley's big gift here was the Leapster 2, which she LOVES (granted she can play the actual cartridge games but she sure dominates at art gallery and match game we put on there. Showed her one time how to navigate and you better believes she needs NO help :) Smart little lady she is!! However if you tell her, "Hadley you're one smart cookie" she immediately says, "No I'm not, I'm just Hadley mama." The girls also got their zoo membership renewed which continues to get more and more fun as they get excited and see things while they are there.

Sorry it's sideways, new camera, new computer no clue quite how to do the editing yet, but she's too darling not to share. My grown up, helper!!

Gweny loves things on her head, even if she's making a fashion disaster...

We get to the party and what do the older kids do? Line up in front of the tv, it's actually sweet.
