Merry Christmas!

Opening the last day of the advent calendar on Christmas eve morning. And yes, that's chocolate dribbling down her chin. Then we spent some time riding our horsey (a Christmas present from last year that has come in handy lately). Daddy's hat is quite dirty, but Leah doesn't mind. It's all part of her rugged cowgirl theme.
Every cowgirl needs a pony, don't you think?

All decked out for church on Christmas Eve in her princess dress. Leah was very cooperative with the picture taking this Christmas. All I had to do was ask her to sit in front of the tree and she would. The pointing fingers was her own creative flair.
Some post church present-opening at Oma and Opa's house.

Christmas morning... I don't know what's with that fuzzy glow, I just liked her can-we-take-the-picture-and-open-the-presents-already look she's giving me.

This was our attempt at taking a Christmas morning photo of the "kids". It's tough to take a photo when you have 3 moving creatures. And the kitties weren't even close to cooperating, so they didn't get to be in the picture.

Daddy helping Leah open some presents.

Whew! Opening presents is tiring! I'm just going to take a little break here.

Playing with her new blocks, which she was adamant about putting on our windowsill. The silly girl would pick up two blocks at a time and run to our room to put them on our windowsill, and then run back to the living room to get two more. She was huffing and puffing the whole way. This went on for about 5 minutes, until I showed her that the blocks came on a little pull cart. It made her task much easier!

Christmas day, peering into Opa's juice cabinet. Pah! "Juice."

Pushing around her new little grocery cart with the ever essential ball and toy trucks. What good grocery store purchases.

Thanks to all of our friends and family who made this Christmas special for us!
