Christmas 2005

This Christmas being VK's 2nd Christmas we felt that it was important to be home and make a medium big deal out of Christmas. She quickly learned some simple things about Christmas, Santa, reindeer, Jingle Bells, etc.

She was immune however from the commercialization of Christmas and wasn't present crazed which was nice. We were able to have a nice relaxed Christmas at home with Gramma John & Gramma Diane.

VK slowly learned to open presents in a timely manner, the first couple were all about tearing little bits of paper off of the package, but she finally figured out that there were good things inside.

I think we that she has a good foundation for Christmas' to come and will enjoy the break, the togetherness and the giving that the Holiday season is about (either that or it will be all about the toys, who knows?).
