Christmas in Austin

Rosalie had her first lesson in gift wrapping from her dad.
Rosalie dressed up as Rudolph.
Ruth did too.
Rosalie spent most days outside in the freezing cold playing in the backyard. We were ill-prepared for the cold so she just borrowed a hat and gloves. She didn't seem to mind the weather though, and had a really great time tromping around with the dog.
Rosalie and Coco looking outside. They were such buddies the whole time.
Rosalie saying cheese, while eating a Christmas cookie.
Ruth all smiley and happy.
sweet girl.
Christmas eve jammies, snuggling with Aunt Aubrey.
Nice photography work of Sean's. Us coming down the stairs at 6AM Christmas morning.
Rosalie checking out her haul.
Opening her American girl doll from Nama and Hapa.
The scooter and helmet that Santa brought.
Grumpy in her beautiful Christmas dress from Gammy and Pops. She loved it, she saw herself in the mirror and said she was a princess and began to twirl. So cute.
Ruth in her cute dress from Marci. We have a beautiful dress for her too, but I was scared she would ruin it with spit up.

We had a really fun Christmas hanging out with my family. We went to Pappasito's on Christmas eve and chowed down all all sorts of yummy treats. We had Christmas dinner with our family friends the Tueller's, and Rosalie had a blast playing with their daughter Olivia, who is a senior in high school. She had so much fun with all of her toys on Christmas. It was so much fun doing Christmas with her at this age. She got some paper dolls and legos, and she enjoys making Sean play both of those with her. She loves her basketball hoop too, but is not quiet coordinated enough to throw it in, she is working on her dunking skills right now. We had a great time.
