| Two goofballs in front of the tree |
It's been non-stop Christmas for Libby and Mary. In the span of one week, they had three different audiences with Santa Claus, each time doing their best to monopolize as much of his time as possible. There are some kids who are scared silly by the sight of the big guy in the red suit. Not Libby and Mary. From the minute he walks through the door, Libby is all over him. Mom and Dad have to fight to get her out of the way of other people's pictures, as she refuses to step outside Santa's personal space. Mary isn't quite as enthusiastic, and sometimes even seems unimpressed, but she is certainly not shy around St. Nick.

| Santa at Libby and Mary's House |
After seeing Santa at Dad's Christmas brunch, Santa came to the house to see the girls on Wednesday. Libby was so excited, she danced around the house singing Christmas songs while impatiently waiting for him to arrive. Santa brought the girls each a Disney Princess doll, after Libby told Santa she wanted "Princess Barbies" and Mary wanted "a toy." For his troubles, Libby gave Santa a bag of homemade cookies. Libby's hoping he remembers that on Saturday night...

| With Santa at Family Christmas Party |
The next go-round was on Friday night at Mom's Family Christmas Party. As usual, it was a great time. Libby and Mary had plenty of time to play with cousins--Claire, Corinne, Declan, Moira, Fiona, Emma, Nicholas, Grace, et al. They made Christmas pictures and ornaments, ate way too many cookies and got to see Great-Grandma. Oh yeah, and Santa was there. Once again, if you didn't know any better, you would think Libby was Santa's sidekick/personal assistant.

Christmas week officially kicked off with some snow on Saturday/Sunday. Of course, it was gone by Monday, but Libby was able to get out and play on Sunday afternoon. She and Dad made two snowmen, shoveled, and made multiple snow angels. After having their fill of snow, Libby and Dad went inside for cookies and hot chocolate. It was easily one of the best days of the year!
