Christmas, 2014

It was not a huge family Christmas, but it was a Christmas with a three-year-old. P's parting words to us, Christmas night, were "I love my presents, I love Christmas, I love my family." Top that!
Decorating Christmas cookies



















Special attention to the letter P (not shown...
making the gingerbread house)




















Traditional Christmas Eve meat/seafood fondue (the cheese
fondue course was lunch, earlier; the chocolate course on
Christmas night)





















Helping Grandma unwrap a Christmas eve present















Christmas morning...P examines the chemistry
set from Poppy (paternal grandpa), as Mama
looks on, demonstrating use of safety glasses;
what does a chemistry set for three-year-olds do,
you ask...have you ever seen raisins rise and
fall in a solution of carbonated water?























With her first American Girl doll (christened
Sarah) and matching Snow White night-gowns




















Daddy with specially-selected vintage tie















A Frozen night-gown



















Mama looks on to the unwrapping of a culinary present















Grandpa unwraps something (probably a gadget
for the camper)




















As the morning winds down, with Sarah, in
matching night-gowns

Nice pictures! Though I hasten to correct your Disney princess identification--that's a Little Mermaid nightgown. :)

Oops, sorry. You know I have a sort of a Disney block. Don't tell P.
