The Christmas season this year started out with a nasty three-day snowstorm that delayed the visit of Claire, Peter, Sabrina, and Brooke. When they arrived they were treated to some excellent sledding conditions, which Sabrina loved.
Maybe it was the all-encompassing snow suit or the ground being too "slippelly", but Caroline wasn't a big fan of the snow or sledding.
Erin got extra attention from her more experienced Aunt Claire
and Uncle Peter was a swaddling, shushing, baby-calming expert.
We had a great time at the Boston Children's museum, like playing with the looms
and working in the shop with real tools.
Sabrina liked opening gifts for everyone. You can see that Brooke was content to play with the remote.
Erin has started to get fussy at night and we brought out the swing for her. Here Sabrina and Caroline test out their mothering skills.
Most of the time the kids played by themselves
unless we were reading stories.
Brooke even enjoyed the books.
Merry Christmas from the girls!
Later Caroline opened more presents for her
and made sure that Erin got her share.
Chinda made some cute hats for the girls.
and Erin got a little candy cane suit.
On Christmas Day we flew to Atlanta and enjoyed dinner at the Mandarin House.
This is one outfit that is too small!
We visited the Yarlotts, where Lauren and Lindsey found a princess costume for Caroline.
We also saw Joe and Tracy
and Jenna explained that the doggy bed is not for Caroline.
One unfortunate side effect of our travels was disruption of Caroline's sleep routine. Even in the best of times at home she doesn't go down easily. But in Atlanta even after lying down with her for two hours she wouldn't go to sleep. When we let her get up, it was so sad - she'd follow us around the house trailing her lovies and then finally went to sleep with Daddy at 11 pm.
As always Grandma was great at holding baby Erin.
Back at home in Boston we relaxed for a few days.
Caroline got to hold Erin a little bit.
and we took the first of many pictures of the two in matching outfits.
Happy New Year!
