Christmas 2009

Yes, a little late, but I finally got a chance to post our Christmas pics. Here's the three of us on xmas eve. This year Simone was old enough to understand the holidays and burst with all the excitement little kids do at this time of year.



This year, she was also able to help mommy set the table for Holy Night Supper. Before...

After...

Then, a sword fight with daddy...

Dressed for Mass on Christmas Eve, but no smiles...

Simone was fascinated by the manger scene at church. And after Mass she went up for a good, close look a the baby Jesus.

After dinner, we got in the spirit for the gift exchange with her cousins....

Christmas morning, Simone found LOTS of presents from Santa. She was a very good girl this year and gave up her pacifiers. We're still working on the whining and potty training.

Simone's FAVORITE present was her dress up princess shoes.

Too much excitement for one little girl. This occasion marks the only time in Simone's whole life that she actually fell asleep on her own, watching cartoons.

The day after Christmas, we went with Madalyn and her parents to see Disney on Ice. It was Simone's first show and she did pretty well. She's growing up fast.
