Our Little Christmas Ham

I took this picture with my Christmas present, my new digital camera. Santa was very good to me this year. I am excited that I now get to capture all of these adorable moments. I call this face Violet is making her "smile for mommy" face. Almost every picture I took yesterday looks very similar to this one. We had a very nice day. We stayed at home all morning with just our girls and opened presents from Santa, then we went to my grandparents house for the turkey dinner and played a couple of games. Next we went to my mom and dad's house to open grandparent presents. The kids were really funny, because one of them would open a present, and they would congregate around that gift until we lured them to one of their own. I am going to have to spend some time this week rearranging Violet's room to make room for all of her new stuff. Among the presents from her grandparents she got a Radio Flyer tricycle, a giggling Elmo chair, and my favorite is a little doll bed that my dad made for her.


As you can see Hazel has not mastered the art of the "mommy" smile. But I bet next Christmas I will have two little hams with the squinty eyed crinkled nose smile.


What did you get for Christmas this year?

How precious! Well my favorite Xmas present was our video camera so when we come to visit I can video tape my little neices and watch their smiles anytime I miss them!
