We had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! The girls just loved their presents...and they had plenty to open. I think next year we'll get them 3 gifts each (symbolic of the 3 gifts Jesus received from the Wise Men) and they can donate some of their current toys to a family in need. Yeah, so they'll be almost 2 and 4, but I think it'd be a good start on giving service as a Christmas tradition. So when they are older, hopefully they'll think of others first. I've included some photos of the girls in the outfits that Grandma Barbara got them. The second is a total candid photo I took - Madeline was crying because she didn't want to get her picture taken anymore, and Abbie looks on as if to say "it's ok, don't cry sister." It's precious - and it is so Abbie - she's such a lover. We visited Grandma Dee at Chena Hot Springs (she's the pilot at the resort) on New Year's Day and got some swimming in. We all had a great time - Madeline even got brave and put on a life jacket and swam around us without help! I think 2008 is going to be a fun, exciting, and definitely new year :)
