It begins with cookies. Here is a sampling of mom's cookie selection for this year.
On Koko's first Christmas morning she inspected the presents carefully.
But she was more pleased with the wrapping than the gift.
After a present or two Koko had the hang of it. Mei went right to work on her new Tangled doll and Calico Critters.
After opening Santa's gifts at home, we went to Erik and Kim's house for a family Christmas breakfast and presents. Mei and Cairo dressed up in some of Cairo's fancy dress up clothes.
Mei got some fancy sparkle heels. How fancy!
We had Chistmas dinner at my parent's house. Cairo and Mei enjoyed their Christmas cake. It was very good. Chocolate candy cane cake. Thank you Kim!
It has become a regular part of family gatherings for Cairo and Mei to perform a dance routine at the end of the evening. It is always a good time.
Grandpa Tipple got a cool new toy. It is a shooting set with sensors that cause the cans and bottles to fall if you aim well enough. Here, Jonah gets sharp shooting pointers from grandpa.
Cairo spent the night at our house just a few nights before Mei, Koko, and Kyoko left for Japan.
These pictures are from Thanksgiving break. They show a nice sequence of snowball action.
