Christmas '09

Opening presents Christmas morning - you can see new GK's guitar, Annabel's new hat, and Mommy's new rug.


Annabel with a new toy


GK is in her petticoat in the process of getting dressed - but distracted by her guitar and easel.


All dressed - but with Godric's harness as a belt.

At Papa and Yaya's



GK got a hold of the coal in Aunt Kiki's stocking and got it on her face.

Ready for Christmas Eve mass


That's not her hat, but she loves it.

Snow!




It's a little shaky since the two subjects generally ran in different directions. At one point you can hear GK call Godric, "Swiper", as in the fox from Dora the Explorer. He often plays that role in her adventures.

No one can make Annabel laugh like dog.

Annabel eats solids! That's rice cereal all over her face.


Godric helps how he can.


Warming up the papsan


GK is all ready for school with pig tails and a Christmas bow.


Later that day she gets a hold of a red pen. She shows off her handy work. I knew something was up when she was suddenly very still and quiet.

Christmas Tree Day

Napping in the sun - Godric is already exhausted by all the Christmas tree work.

Every year we buy our tree from a firehouse. GK got to see the engines, and they gave her her very own fire hat, which she loves.



GK plays with the tree Aunt Jackie sent. If you press a button, it lights up, rotates, and plays music.



Chris is trying to adjust the tree base; Godric is very excited to find him on the floor.


Annabel watches the festivities from her papsan.

The backroom play mat

Godric sees Annabel's playmat as his own napping spot.


Annabel loves grabbing at the hanging rattles. GK has learned that it is not a climbing toy, particularly when Annabel is underneath.
