New Years Eve Basque Visit (A Rescheduled Christmas)

A great visit all around. Hours spent at the Shedd Aquarium (where Lillian saw Frosty!), many card games (Uno and Go Fish), singing, dancing, cooking, playing, watch admiring, present opening and generally having tons of fun!

Lillian meeting Frosty. She was awestruck and talked about him for hours afterward.
Such a tired and happy boy.
Such a tired and happy girl.

Opening presents. Papa's presents.

She figured out how to take a picture of herself!

Kids Baking Christmas Presents

Kids made Christmas Cookies as presents for everyone. They were both great at it. Lillian especially surprised me at how well she knew what to do and how independent she wanted to be. Simon was better about not eating the raw cookies though.

Simon's Barber Visit

Simon asked to go to a barber. So before our Santa pictures I took him to the Hair Cuttery. He loved it and had so many questions for the lady-barber.

He just wanted to sit in this - she humored him.
