HAPPY NOON YEAR!

REPRIMANDING RUDOLPH

Gosh, this was hard for me to hear.  I really don't want her to think I sound this mean all the time...

"Don't touch the boat?"  I have no idea what was going on in that crib...but she sounds quite mad.  I can only hope she was channeling Nemo's father instead of me.

"CHRISTMAS" MORNING

We celebrated with a white Christmas here this morning before we head out of town for real Christmas.

And I could've spent a grand total of $2 and made the day a roaring success, because she didn't care about opening anything else after she opened these.

And then outside into the snow!

FIRST CHRISTMAS PRESENT

PLAYING

CHRISTMAS CAROLS

YIPPEE AND GIDDYUP!

We went to the carousel museum, which has an old-fashioned carousel (and no laws about how slowly it has to travel, since it is technically a museum exhibit and not a children's ride!)...

...and an old-fashioned horse ride that's a bit jerky!  Old-timey fun, before safety regulations!

CAROUSEL

She really did make up a (bad) song about a carousel, but it was too noisy to catch the words...
