| Libby and Mary with Santa |
The Christmas Season has officially arrived for the Yandek Ladies. In the days since Thanksgiving, which was an enjoyable holiday in it's own right, the girls have done their best to get in to the Christmas Spirit. It seems everywhere they go--daycare, Grammie and Papa Yandek's, Grammie and Papa Hanna's--there are Christmas toys, decorations, books, music and cookies: all the good stuff that makes Christmas Christmas. Libby has grown quite fond of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," watching both a number of times. Likewise, she has quite a few songs in her repertoire, and she will sing them for you almost on command!

| Dad, Libby, Corinne and Claire Decorating Cookies |
Both Libby and Mary helped decorate the tree...Libby put all her ornaments in one spot--it's very cute and not too difficult to find--and Mary has done her part by rearranging the ornaments from time to time. The girls are enjoying all their Christmas books and all the other decorations throughout the house. Libby will gladly tell you how she "decorationed" the tree or "decorationed" the playroom or "decorationed" the living room. The girls also have two Christmas Countdown Calendars that they look forward to every day.

Of course, it wouldn't be Christmas without Santa, and the girls have already had their fair share. While Libby met him on the Polar Express in November, both girls got to spend some time with him at breakfast on Sunday. Libby tells Santa every time that she wants Disney Princess Barbies. Hopefully, the big guy will come through for her, or she'll be extremely disappointed. Both girls have done a great job with Santa, neither one acting shy or scared, which is good, since they will see him two more times this week!

Speaking of Santa, the girls enjoyed their St. Nick's Day treats, as well. Libby got a pair of Rapunzel Christmas socks which, for a while, she refused to take off, and candy cane full of Skittles, which is currently her all-time favorite candy. Mary got a pair of Dora Christmas socks and a Little People Mrs. Santa car. The were totally surprised when they found their gifts--very, very cute. The other fun the girls had was making cookies on Saturday with Mom and Dad, Claire and Corinne, and Aunt Reen. It was a marathon cookie-making day, to be sure. Libby was a very good helper, especially when it came time to help eat the cookies!
