Christmas low down

Christmas Eve

Christmas was great. Claire was in heaven and was on a huge sugar high from her stocking treats that we foolishly let her dip into before breakfast (mental note, sugar travels faster through the blood stream when there is nothing else in the stomach and causes the Christmas Crazies). Sydney sat in her lil' chair and took in all the excitement with her bobbling little head and cute little tongue that can't stay in her mouth.


Here are my favorite gifts CB got:


The playhouse that I mentioned I was making (it is not as good or detailed as the gal I copied, but I only had so much patience and our table is smaller).




you flip the knot hole up to talk to the person inside

The rose Lyndon stayed up Christmas Eve carving for Claire. She saw mine a month or so ago and I told her that her pops made it for me. She then one morning went up to Lydon and said, "oh, Daddy make me a rose please!"

Its hard to see all the detail, but rest assure, it's good.

We also had our good friends the Bravims join us for Christmas dinner and the next day's activities. It was really fun to see and get to know Christina's Dad. Such a good family.

(note: Bruno claims he will be a good Uncle not Dad , but I beg to differ, he fed and coo-ed Sydney like any sweet Daddy would, see him holding her)

And, here is Claire at the end of today. Ah, Sleeeepzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Sock monkey- check, baby doll- check, sheep- check, blanket- check....

And for those wanting more pictures of Sydney, well, I've got a lot of videos, but blogger just doesn't want to download them right now and I just don't want to make it (being 11pm at night), so farewell for now and come again to get to know Sydney Poo, Gweedy, or pydney sue as we lovingly like to call her.

Happy New Year to come!!
