Molly recently taught Leah to play ring-around-the-rosie.

Leah's favorite part is the falling down. She's been walking around since saying, "ashees, ashees, dall dall down!"

While Molly may be a big fan of modern touch devices like the iPad and iPhone, she has started occasionally doing some old school computing with my laptop. Here she is playing Mickey Mouse Clubhouse games on the Playhouse Disney website.

Sledding in NC

As Jen already said, we drove to Mooresville, NC, on Boxing Day to continue celebrating with her family. Mooresville had just gotten some snow, so several of us took the opportunity to do some sledding. This was actually Molly's first time sledding (yes, I know it's odd that we get plenty of snow in Maryland, but her first time sledding was in North Carolina). Molly had a blast, and even went by herself several times.

Christmas is for dancing

Christmas music isn't just great for singing, it's great for dancing as well.

The day after Christmas we headed to Mooresville, NC for the Batson Family Christmas. We exchanged gifts with my immediate family at the hotel before the larger family gathering. Molly was jazzed about her new Disney princess slippers.

We all got together to give G'mom and Grampa a new camera. It's a Canon S90, and it's very snazzy.

Jen already talked a bit about Christmas morning, but here's a bit of video to give you more of a taste of it.

The celebrating continues

After Christmas at our house, we headed to Grams and Pop's for more celebrating. Aunt Caroline offered Leah a little pre-present reading.

I think Molly might be ticklish.

Either Leah likes this inchworm, or she's hungry.

Don't eat the worm!

Grammy, Grams and Pop were in on the action as well.

To end our day, Chad hooked up his parents new Blu-ray player and we immediately put in Molly's new Beauty and the Beast disc. Here he is watching with his little ones.

Our merry little Christmas

Christmas morning was exciting. The girls went through their stockings in a flash, then got to opening presents.

Leah still needs a little help opening her presents.

A little help, please

It’s baby Jesus!

This Christmas, Molly loved opening our nativity advent calendar. She was very excited to open the last box to find baby Jesus.

That evening, Leah had fun playing with Belkie, who still works after years and years in the family.

Our tradition of opening one present on Christmas Eve continued this year. Molly wanted to open up her new Legos right away to start playing with them.

Legos!

Wishing you a Merry Christmas

Fall snow play

The day after our little fall snow (we ended up getting just 2-3 inches), Molly really wanted to go play in the snow. So, I took her out after lunch to play a bit before it all finished melting. As you can see, she had a ball throwing snowballs (and eating the snow as well).
