Merry Christmas!

We had a nice, long Christmas weekend together, complete with snow on Christmas day - very nice! We got a little crafty too since we were "snowbound" for a couple days.
Feathers are fun.
Finally got a shot of Helen's new bedspread and sheets that Grandma made and sent a few weeks ago - totally adorable!
H applying the sequin appliques to G&G's gift box they sent for x-mas.
She was quite pleased with the packet of gummi bears inside.
Showing off her new Abby slippers that Santa brought.
Opening up her cool octopus present that goes along with her yellow submarine on Christmas morning. We were a little disappointed that all the people in both presents are brawny dudes that look like they work out 3 hours a day at the gym and drink raw eggs in the morning. D looked it up on the net and apparently there are other people out there that are miffed there are no females in this fisher price series. My few feminist embers from college are getting fanned lately with these kids toys, I swear! She seems to take it all in stride though and likes to take her "guys" in her coat pocket when we go out to keep them warm.
