Christmas 2009

A tired girl let us sleep in Christmas morning at my parents' house. We got my tired dad out of bed by telling him that Zarina would soon be opening presents.

The doll set was definitely the hit of the morning (Christmas Eve was all about The Princess and the Frog music set that included a drum, cymbals, shaker, and trumpet).

Brien loved his overalls.

Zarina loved her Griffyndor (Harry Potter) hat and scarf set that grandma made.

Brien was surprised to find Cadbury sugar shell eggs in his stocking. I was surprised to find them at the store in December.

Pictures of me diving into my stocking were formatted the wrong direction, and I didn't feel like altering things so you could see me checking out the beautiful earrings Brien got me.

Zarina helped grandpa hand out presents:

Then they found time to relax together:

Even a fake Santa can be too close to the real thing:

A day isn't complete unless you torture Jack:

Zarina loves her grandpa. (She also loves grandma, but we couldn't get a happy picture of them together).

She also loves her Aunt Carolyn who has a much better hat and scarf picture she should send you.
