Christmas time is near


The girls have been super exited to participate in Christmas activities of all kinds.  As you can see above, despite talking a big game about being friends with Santa, Nina had another terrifying experience with him.  Vivian did alright, but they both loved the parade.  Vivian was so excited to hear people singing and Nina waved at every float and every person.  She would lean into the street to see what was coming next and then give a look full of excitement and joy when she told us about what she saw.

 



 


They both loved decorating the tree!  Vivian grabbed on to ornaments and the tree, and Nina abundantly decorated the bottom branches.  Nina also got her own mini-tree with decorations of her own - and not just any decorations, Toy Story and Finding Nemo ornaments!




Nina has taken to randomly calling Vivian "Vivi" and occasionally helps with bottles.  Our daycare provider, Barb, says Nina is the best big sister and she protects her, talks to her, and tells other kids to "watch out for my sister!"  Vivian is trying to catch up to Nina is all aspects of life; she tries taking Nina's toys, she tries to talk, mimics eating food, and now she is wearing a size 3 diaper to Nina's 4.
