Christmas eve...


Stella did not want to pose with her new boa.

Christmas morning...the babies were a bit cranky, so I gave them fudge and jellybeans. (I'm sure I learned this strategy from Parenting Magazine, yes, I think it was an article called "smart tips from fabulous moms")


Eli is quite pleased with himself after "borrowing" Lena's new slide whistle.

Lena got some very beautiful new ballet outfits, and she was thrilled!!


It actually snowed on Christmas day, Lena went outside to pose in her new dress.

Christmas night, story time.
