Christmas Part I

Willow will get to celebrate Christmas for two weeks - one week with grandparents in PA and one week at home with grandparents from CO. Christmas has definitely been different this year, with Willow showing a greater interest and ability to open the presents herself. Willow is soaking up time with Gramma and Gramps - usually not allowing them to leave her sight. Here's Willow begging for Gramma to come out of the bathroom:

Willow has started to enjoy playing pretend. She'll have a tea party with all of her stuffed animals or feed her baby doll. We're now even reading books to our baby!

Aunt Linnie and Uncle Paul got her a stroller for her baby, which she's really enjoyed pushing around the house. It's strange to see her being "too big" to sit in it!

We stopped by to visit our friends, the Shannons. The girls were great with playing with Willow. They enjoyed playing dress up and playing the piano. Chris had to cringe when he saw Willow come downstairs with a Rothlisberger jersey and a terrible towel.



Eating Christmas dinner at a table just the right size for Willow!

Willow is starting to smile/"cheese" for the camera.



Willow looking like quite a grown little girl!

We had a chance to go outside and play in the foot of snow this afternoon. Again, Willow was indifferent to playing in it herself. Dada and Gramps enjoyed a snowball fight - Willow can't quite understand that they're "playing."




Willow's doing a good job of keeping Gramma and Gramps smiling!
