Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve we got all dressed up and went to our Great Aunt Sis's house.


These adorable dresses are hand-me-downs from Nandini and Macky, our old neighbors. Our Mama was thrilled to find them hanging neatly in our closet, ready to wear!

 

 

Our Mama and Daddy are waaaay underdressed.

Our Christmas: Part one

Our Mama was on vacation the week before Christmas, so we went to Grand Rapids to visit our Grandma and Grandpa. We had first Christmas there! There was a pile of presents bigger than us!

 

We did enjoy playing with paper and boxes.
 
 

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!

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.
