Ho, Ho, Ho (No!)

The Girls continue to be very busy since turning 2 in October.  Here are some recent shots of some activities over the past several weeks.  They continue to say more and more each day, the most eloquent blend of Spanish and English that Brooke has ever heard!  

Our 2012 Family Photo Shot was received with mixed reactions from the Girls.  Here Caroline has about had it with the poses.  There was a lot of "Uppp!" coming from them on this day.

C chasing V because V has decided to take her dried apple snacks.  1/2 the time it is the other way around, so don't feel too bad for either one of them.

Today we decided to make Papa's favorite Jam Thumbprint Cookies.  Here the Girls are donning their Chef's outfits that Johnny Huber gave them for their Bday.  We had a great time; V was very meticulous with ensuring enough nuts were rolled onto the dough balls, while C seemed to be in a race and in between rolling the dough in the nuts, she would take bites out of the raw dough (rolled in egg white).  We're hoping she keeps it down if you know what we mean!

Chef Caroline here is demonstrating the fine art of taste-testing  her creation.

Her Partner Chef Victoria is proudly displaying a perfectly rolled Jam Thumbprint dough ball.

A couple weeks back we visited the Nature Museum and grabbed a bite to eat at the Farmers Market afterward and then looked at the ducks in the pond.

At the Nature Museum, V got up and personal with the Christmas Iguana.  This guys is the chillest creature on earth, he never even flinched with dozens of Kids curiously exploring him all morning.

V with C in chase.

Wonder if Brooke would allow one of these in our house?

...and at last, here is our recent face-to-face with Santa Claus last night.  As you can see, Victoria was absolutely terrified, the poor thing.  C was not far behind, and Santa questions whether this job pays enough! The Girls love talking about Santa and reciting Ho, Ho, Ho, but this was apparently just too real for them...maybe next year!

Here C and V cuddle up to their buddy, Ms. Stephanie (V's Godmother) and check out a transformer.

Another Family Photo Shot, our photog must have taken 500 pics and somehow found a keeper or two amongt them.
