Text by Andy: we flew on Christmas day this time, which allowed us to have Austrian Christmas eve at home. Then we flew to Austin and arrived at night.
Leilani admiring Grandma’s nativity made of Santons from Provence (France). I remember collecting these when we lived there:
We had a nice Christmas dinner (pumpkin soup) and then Leilani had just enough time left on Christmas to open one present, she chose her stocking:
Actually, Leilani ran upstairs to change into her fancy Christmas dress all by herself, even before opening her stocking. She loves this sparkly red dress:
And snuggling with Grandma before going to bed:
Somehow, Leilani managed to delay going to be long enough to make the puzzle from her stocking. It was all the US Presidents, so everybody felt it was too hard for her and helped out–nobody can resist helping with a puzzle. Leilani loves puzzles and is very good with them. She now knows to look for pictures and colors that match, and then she patiently tries pieces, based on their shapes.
