A Very Squiggly Christmas

A week or so before Christmas, we noticed that Squiggles’ pajamas were appropriate for the season, and set up a photo shoot.  At first she was gracious:

But then she realized the props were edible.  It all went downhill from there.

She was quite forlorn after I took away the candy.

So Daddy cheered her up.

Squiggles LOVED the Christmas tree, meaning that she loved trying to eat the branches and the ornaments.  She got excited every time we turned on the lights.

We spent Christmas morning with Tim’s mom (Nana).  She came over for breakfast (courtesy of Tim), and then we watched the baby open presents.  She was naturally most excited about all the boxes and crinkly paper.

But she also liked the toys, including this very boisterous snail from Aunt Jen that squeals and makes music any time anybody so much as blinks.

We had dinner at Nana’s, and then came back to play some more.

She was a little frightened by the ball-shooter-outer device (also from Aunt Jen) until she saw her cousins playing with it.  Then of course it was awesome.

She also loved the touchy-feely book that came in Grandma’s Christmas package.

Squiggles was sick the Sunday before Christmas, so she wore her Christmas dress to church the Sunday after.  Very pretty girl.

It was fun to spend Christmas with our very favorite gift – Squiggles!
