Ah Christmas. Seems like a long time ago already even though the neighbors across the street still have a festive fanfare of inflatable Christmas creatures in their front yard. I haven't written thank you notes yet either so the season isn't officially closed yet.
We had a lovely Christmas celebrating with my Mom for a week. After she left on the 29th I started to go a little stir crazy at home wishing I could go on vacation myself. It won't be too long though before we are in Tucson! We were excellent LA tourists though visiting the park, LA Zoo, aquarium, Skirball center, LACMA, and the Natural History Museum in between getting ready for Santa and Christmas Dinner for 12 at our house. Family and friends did their part to keep the US economy going as Addie and Eliza were definitely showered with presents. This will be the last year that Addie will get to open the advent calendar and all the gifts on behalf of her sister.
It's starting to smell like Christmas! Cap and Addie make an apple pie.
Reading the Night Before Christmas narrated by Pop Pop and Nana before heading out to Christmas Eve dinner at Aunt Karen and Uncle Peter's house.
Exploring what Santa brought in their new owl PJs.
Oh Tannenbaum
Nesting owls
Her very own pony
A woodland critter house
Trying on a tutu
Reading with Gran
Even Rapunzel had her own place setting at the Christmas dinner table.

Carrying on the Q family anglophile tradition of paper hats from our Christmas crackers.Yes I make everyone wear them. (and that is crazy good scalloped potatoes Addie's eating.)
