Christmas Day

Good news: Maya is staying dry many nights now!  Bad News: she sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night to let us know she needs to go.  Today was one of those nights.  Maya was up at 4:30.  Then Genna up at 5:30.  Then both up for good before 6:00am.  That made a VERY long day for ALL of us!
 The girls had a great Christmas morning.  Lots of Princess loot.
 Genna recently got her 2 front teeth, so she didn't want much else this year.  But she did like trying on Maya's butterfly wings.
 During Thanksgiving, we visited our Gatson friends in Phoenix.  Maya was smitten with the Plush Polka Dot Robe Jaiden had and has been talking about one ever since.  How nice of Grandma Carroll to send one.  Here is her "Jaiden" pose.

Dinner at Ann & Larry's.  
I volunteered to make the cabbage pierogi.  I don't know if I'll do that again until Maya is old enough to REALLY help.  Or unless I can get Bob as my assistant. 
I was happy and a little surprised at how well Genna did.  She was so sociable despite limited napping today and happily passed from one auntie & cousin to the next.... even the uncles got some love.  She charmed everyone.
Her Christmas surprise to us was tackling a new mobility goal - going from lying on her belly to getting into sitting position by herself!

Maya certainly loves her Genna and Genna doesn't seem to mind being squished! With her hair pulled up like that, Maya looks so grown up...

Keep those pictures coming!
Love, Babcia & Grandpa Boyan
