Merry Christmas!

William and Nathalie this morning, infront of the tree, surronded by gifts, and love! Nathalie was so grateful for everything that she opened, and I was really proud of her in that she took the time to thank each person for what they got her! Her top gifts, were her ballet slippers (from Santa) an art easel from Nana and Papa, and some dolls from assorted relatives! William actually really got into opening presents this year, for the first time! He mostly received things with wheels, trains, cars, etc...and of course loves them all, wanted them al opened to play with! They joy on the kids' faces when they opened gifts was priceless, and amazing!

Nathalie Making Gingerbread Men

I am in the middle of finals, I spent today writing two lab reports, took one final on Thursday, and have my last final on Tuesday. Despite that my kids have needs, specifically for my attention, and more specifically when I'm trying to study. Nathalie has been asking, and asking to make Gingerbread cookies, so today in between my two reports, she did, and here are some pictures of my little baker!

Our Christmas Card!

Nathalie and Santa Claus...

As I was putting Nathalie to bed, she just told me she wants to write a letter to Santa, and I told her we will do that tomorrow.



She said ok, because I need to tell him that I want some tippy toe ballerina shoes, some tap tap shoes, and a ballerina dress ( I guess we'll be signing up for dance lessons huh?)...oh and she wants Sleeping Beauty, the MOvie (check on that one)!
