Our Christmas

This was Christmas Eve. The kids got to open one present each. Kate is wearing the "dress-up" she got from her cousin, and has worn nearly every day since. She has been known to cry in the morning because she wakes up in her pajamas, and not in this dress.

Our stylin' Lily. I don't even know what's up with that hat. They found it in our closet and wore it around the house for a few minutes.


This is Christmas morning. A super cute picture of the girls. To bad the baby's trying to fall off the stair. Apparently the Parkinsons have a tradition of taking pictures of the kids on the stairs Christmas morning. This'll have to do for 2010.

May I remind you that Kate was thankful for cereal at Thanksgiving? She told my sister that this was her favorite present.

And this was Lily's favorite present. We are waiting for warm weather to really get to use it.


The girls got a dress-up trunk with a bunch of girly stuff in it. Kate is sticking to her old "dress-up." But Lily has gotten some mileage out of the clip-on earrings. Four years old going on 15?

We watched part of "The Sound of Music" on TV the other day and after the part where the littlest girl sings, "The sun has gone to bed and so must I," Kate said, "I want to be like that little girl." I said you are. She adamantly replied that she was not like her. "I'm not in the TV!"

Love the picture with the cereal. So funny! Also love the picture on the stairs. What a fun tradition, even with the baby falling off. :-)

It looks like you had a great Christmas. I wish I had kept up the Christmas morning stairs picture tradition. You have a great family.
