Holidays 2005

I've posted some new photos taken in the latter half of December. Audrey is 23 months old now. She is starting to understand the concept of unwrapping gifts if we help her. She let out a good "ahhhhh" when she saw through the hole in the wrapping paper and realized there were toys inside (a yellow dumptruck and bulldozer).

Audrey also got a toy train, which she loves, and some rubber boots that have ladybugs on them. She seemed to know instinctively what they were for. She put them on and we were stomping around in small puddles on the back patio. Suddenly Audrey pointed to the alley and said (in Audrey language), "Hey, I remember bigger puddles out there!" So off we went to the alley and she walked through puddles for half an hour. With Vegas in hand, of course.

Finally, we spent Christmas Day with my sister Tricia and her husband Frank and their friend Caroline from Antigua. Tricia made a fantastic meal, as usual. Tricia had also bought beautiful silk dresses for the girls so we dressed them up for a few photos. Charlotte didn't enjoy that at all, but Audrey pirouetted around the house (and jumped on the bed) for some time.
