Merry Christmas! To help celebrate, here are pictures of our preparations this year, including classic shots of the two girls screaming during their first visit to Santa’s lap, the photo below from the slightly less tumultuous second visit, Claire’s first experience with hot cocoa and her first gingerbread house, the holiday pageant at Claire’s preschool (can you spot her in the group shot?), and the two of them playing in front of our tree at home.
