Grandma and her Denver granddaughters. I LOVE this picture!
Grandma snuggling with a sleeping Willa. We get Willa up around 10pm to feed her one last bottle before the night (it helps her sleep through the night) and she is usually OUT after eating so we passed her around and everyone got a good sleeping-baby-snuggle in. I love it!
And then. My mom and sister and I had wrapped all the presents for eachother and the girls and lovingly placed them under the tree. Dear, sweet Violet figured out how to open her bedroom door on the EXACT same day that we were going to have our little family Christmas party. Jon was next door picking up his tools for just a SECOND (he was working on a project for our neighbors) and when he got back, the little stinker had opened up EVERY PRESENT under the tree!!! We were pretty disappointed that we didn't get to see her initial reaction to all the great toys she got (and what she thought of some of the more boring adult stuff!) - but we decided to throw everything in gift bags that I had laying around and call it good. Thus our Christmas tree looked like this:
Wedding bags, new baby bags, birthday bags... but NO Christmas bags! And some gifts we just didn't wrap up. Luckily Violet was pretty excited about opening the BOXES for her gifts and playing with them, so it wasn't all lost. Needless to say, there are NO gifts under the tree now until Christmas morning! And I'm getting a child-proof lock for her door! :)Here is Willa with her loot:
Violet and Leah enjoying a traditional dish of peppermint stick ice cream with chocolate sauce. Violet doesn't get ice cream very often and she thought it was GREAT!
In fact, Violet decided that she better lick up all the remnants of ice cream that was humanly possible. So, by using her super-long-lizard-like-tongue, she set the bowl on the floor (of course) and licked it out. Ironically, Porter decided that was the perfect time to come over and lick off the table for us! Too funny!
Speaking of food, Willa got to try some of HER first food last weekend too! Here she is trying out some bananas.
Not so sure about it...
Okay, I like it!
And Violet trying on her Grandma's furry hood. Silly goose!
If you remember back a few months, Violet used a "bandbaid" to cover her nose when it got sore after a cold. This time she bit her lip and insisted on a bandbaid for THAT. Needless to say, it didn't last long either.
