Christmas and More Christmas!

We were fortunate to participate in so many special Christmas parties
and gatherings this holiday, here's a taste of most of them:
 
We celebrated our own Christmas by opening the presents
 under the tree the morning before 
heading to Michigan for a week of family and holiday fun.
Mila loved her Minnie ornament from Daddy.
 We indulged in a Challah french toast casserole.
 Mila's favorite chipmunk, Theodore,  
hasn't left her side since she opened him.
She didn't hesitate to try on some of fancy 
dress up clothes and accessories from Grandma Lynn.

At the Vander Vliet family Christmas party, 
Mila met Santa for the very first time!
 All the little children received a present from Santa!
 We had a nice time catching up with aunts, uncles, cousins 
and Grandma Vander Vliet...
but watching the kids play together with their gifts was most fun.

During the day on Christmas Eve,
 we let Mila try sparkling grape juice for the first time...
 She's never had anything carbonated before, hence the silly look on her face.
 When we asked if she liked it, she said,
 "Yes!
It's tasty and delicious and saa-weet!"
We also made cookies together.
Mila loves to put on the sprinkles ;)

 We opened our stocking stuffers on Christmas Eve.
 Mila's favorite stocking stuffer was a Hello Kitty hairbrush.
 She kept saying, "It's my very own brush!"
 Check out her hair after she "did it".

We always have a wonderful time at 
Daddy's parent's home on Christmas Day.
 Since Mila's favorite color is purple, 
this robe from her Grandparents was a hit.
 Christmas love for Harry.
 Mila adores her cousin Henry.
 Best shot we could get with six crazy kids!
And the obligatory "funny faces" pic...

We hope everyone had a blessed holiday!
-Mila Q, Mommy & Daddy
