Ho ho ho!!

 

It was a Merry Christmas. For the most part.

The coffee table and us

Since our Mama and Daddy rearranged the living room to make way for the Christmas tree (what an odd tradition, bringing a tree in the house), we spend a lot of time playing with the coffee table.

We have learned to pull to standing, and sometimes to fall to crying:
 

This does solve the mystery of where the teeth marks in the table came from.
 

Chinatown revisited

We met our Uncle Brendan, Uncle Pack, and our Gramee in Chinatown yesterday!

Julia tried a restaurant highchair with questionable safety mechanisms.
 

We tried a little bit of food: some kind of sesame roll, steamed buns, and rice cakes.
 


We put the 'dim' in dim sum.
 

We share

 

Christmas tree

We went with our Mama, our Daddy, our Grandma, and our Aunt Kate to the Christmas tree farm!

 
It was very cold.
 

Our Daddy cut us down the perfect tree!
 

It's a twin thing

We collaborate to foil our Mama's attempt to take pictures of us.

Anna goes first:
 

Julia's turn:
 

Big girls!

We are getting much better at our sitting up!

 
 

Family dinner

 

The forbidden basement

Hey... what's our Daddy doing?
 
A gate?? Why would we need a gate?
 
We hate it already.

Sisters!

 
 
 
We are happier together than apart.

The Everest of Sisters

 
 
 

See how our crawling skills have improved?

Two girls and a box

Another fun toy: the box of couscous.

 
 
 

In a box

A girl in a box.

 
 

Mealtime furniture

Our Mama got out the high chair so we can sit up and eat!

 
 

We haven't figured out finger foods yet, but we're working on it.

What are we wearing?

Seriously? What is this?

 
 

We'd rather be cold.

Voting results!

So apparently in this country, babies are not allowed to vote. We were aghast to find this out at the polling place. We have already given our opinion on Habeus Corpus rights for babies, so we would like to state, for the public record, that we believe babies have well-formed, insightful political opinions and are entitled to a say in our democracy.

In other news, check out our favorite new toy. We discovered it when our Grandma brought our Daddy a bag of Halloween candy. Our Daddy took the candy out and we hunted down the bag. We like it so much our Daddy was compelled to buy and eat another bag of candy so we could chew on it, too.
