Every year, we've taken pictures of Violet near the tree to send out with our Christmas cards. We wanted to continue that tradition this year. Let me just say that taking pictures with a toddler is hard. Homegirl had to be bribed with the promise of chocolate to keep her from trying to stand on her head. And you know what happens when you don't follow through with your bribe immediately?
This. This is what happens.
After some tears and some chocolate, we were able to snap a couple of good ones.
Truthfully, Christmas morning was probably more exciting for Jon and me than it was for Violet. As soon as Violet walked into the living room, she went straight to her new workbench. This workbench is so neat because she can actually hammer and screw pegs into boards. We could barely pull her away from it to open the rest of her presents. When we finally did, she insisted on opening them while wearing her fox mittens. And Lena totally slept through the whole event.
All day long we lounged in our pajamas, played with toys, read books, and just enjoyed our time with each other. Really, every day with our girls is such a blessing and Christmas was certainly no different.
