Christmas 2010 and Tita

This was Katarina's first Christmas. Tita Chrissie came to Little Rock for the holidays, and we all enjoyed the week with her.

We gave the girls personalized books with coloring pages made from pictures of them. Gabi's book is a storytelling book, with creative story scenarios for her to write about, plus a few pages dedicated to her favorite things and thoughts about our upcoming move. Bella's book is an alphabet coloring book with a picture of her for each letter of the alphabet, plus some activity pages at the end. I highly recommend these books! If you're interested, you can purchase one from Kimba's Creative Outlet on Etsy.

It took us several days to open all our presents, as the girls like to have a few hours to play with every new toy as they open each one.
