First Christmas!

Christmas really is a special time with the kids!
Kate, in particular, is at a fun age for it.
She learned the story about the birth of Jesus
and can tell you all about mangers, shephers and angels.
Her sweet singing of Christmas carols and hymns
often filled the house.
She was very interested in all of the preparation at home.
She helped with the baking, decorating and wrapping.
She was very thoughtful when selecting a present for Matthew
(which, by the way, was a Little Tykes basketball hoop!).
So, when Christmas morning finally came,
she knew what to expect
and was filled with joyful anticipation!
She insisted that each and every Miss Daisy
participate in the Christmas morning fun!
Matthew also played his role of sweet infant perfectly!
Of course, he was completely oblivious
about what all the ruckus was about...
but he loved watching his big sister run around
and he was perfectly content with this milk!
Matthew received many nice gifts
but, so far, Bo (the bear) and Banjo (the doggie) are favorites!
In fact, I think Banjo may become Matthew's "Miss Daisy" equivalent!

Kate enjoyed opening her own gifts...
... and Grandma's...

... and Papa's!
