Christmas morning, part one
/
The girl comes down the stairs...
...and begins running when she sees the presents! (Note: the darkness in the window since my kids are early risers any day of the year, the much-loved Fisher Price nativity set in the background, and the mildly irritated cat who bolted shortly after this picture was taken since he wanted nothing to do with the, um, volume of our children's exuberance)
This was my best shot of her riding the pony. Hmm, I'll have to work on getting a better picture!
Uh, yes, my kid did get a duster in her stocking. And she was thrilled! And she has dusted everything she can (including her brother) since then, so it was a wise choice to include it.
"What is big sis so excited about?"
Robbie's favorite stocking stuffer: PUFFS!
Chowing down on Puffs in his new Christmas-y bowl
I cannot get enough of his handsome eyes!
Or of her priceless expressions!
Honestly, I think we could have stopped after the stockings, and Jocelyn would have been just fine with that!
Robs (with another great shot of his eyes - have I mentioned how much I love them? Cuz I do.) checking out Daddy's stocking stash
He then attempted to eat a Snicker's bar, though that pesky wrapper foiled his attempts and then Daddy safely disposed of it.
He may look sweet here, but this is a before shot. Before what? Before Robzilla took out all of Bethlehem (including the penguin, lion, turtle, giraffes, and elephant that Jocelyn included on the left). He looks sweet and timid, but he can be a destructive force!
In the picture below, Jocelyn had just unwrapped one of Robbie's presents and was showing him his new camera rattle. Robs was eating puffs and totally ignoring her. So Jocelyn just continued playing with his toy!
Robzilla conquering one of Jocelyn's presents
Which she rescued by opening it, finding her first Play-doh experience inside!
That's enough for now, since the next set of pictures begin with a wardrobe change for Jocelyn, providing a nice transition. Be expecting part two soon!
