Merry Christmas!

Finally, it's Christmas! Santa was very good to us all, and brought everyone lots of things that we really wanted...
It started with the stockings, which Jordi discovered, stuffed and laid out on the hearth, when we came downstairs on Christmas morning.

Santa was so clever; even though he brought toys for each girl individually, each one seemed to appeal to the other one, too! This is a little magnetic writer that Santa brought for Caroline, but, as you can see, Jordi seems to have no problem enjoying it as well!

After morning at our house, we got dressed in our Christmas outfits and headed over to Nana & Grandad's for brunch and more presents. Caroline is a big fan of Pablo, so it was no surprise that she took to Sing & Spin Pablo right away! Here she is, giving him a hug after he finished doing his thing, dancing & singing the Backyardigans theme song!

Jordi got a set of tools from Uncle Al, which she got to work using right away. In this picture, she's using the drill, which she refers to as the "black & decker." Until we directed her to fix the box, she was walking around the room with it, saying, "Hmmm, I need to black & decker something..."!

Finally, here's Caroline on her trampoline, a gift from Grandma Henri. Both girls took to it immediately, and it continues to be wildly popular even a week later. However, it couldn't be more perfect for little Caroline, who loves to "bop" (her word for jump). Just look at the expression on her face! She's so cute jumping that I'm sure there'll be lots more "bopping" pictures posted in the new year!
