We had a different Christmas from our usual traditional Italian meals and desserts. For dinner on Christmas Eve we had pasta, with cookies for dessert. Amanda was enthralled with black olives.
Christmas tree and presents before the onslaught. And here we are with our bags of candied pecans sent by Gary's cousin David. Yum.
We all had presents to open as we selected names at Thanksgiving. Our cat, 50-50 is shown here wearing one of the ski hats Dennis got for Christmas. She's such a helper.
50-50 likes Dennis.
Amanda is a great helper, too. She put the cookies on a tray for us.
She really liked my Russian teacake cookies, eating them two at a time.
Look at this: Great Grandma T with baby Jennifer.
I spent some time with Jennifer, too. She really likes baby formula--good to the last drop.
Here she is with her Mom, eating again.
Amanda had a great Christmas. She was happy with everything she got.
And with everything Jennifer got, too.
Angie seems to like her Cake Boss book.
Really, baby clothes are so cute.
Amanda is so easy--she even likes the empty cardboard box for some reason.
But she was really surprised by the Nook Santa brought.
Unfortunately we didn't have very much luck setting up the Nook for her, so Santa had to return it and instead brought her a Kindle Fire the day after Christmas. She's a wiz at the Kindle. Santa preloaded the device with Angry Birds, math programs, a book and more. It took one day for her to read the book. A kid after my own heart.
