Merry Christmas ransomedoff fans!
Today was the big day, Mather's third Christmas but the first one where she really participated. She was delighted to see all the stuffed stockings this morning.
And all those presents under the tree!
It was a full Ransom house for Christmas this year. Elsa, Chris and Cora came to join us from New York. Cora is now five months old and super-dooper cute. Here she is, posing with the Christmas stocking that I knit for her!
And here she is again, with GrandFather and Uncle Daniel...
And here she is opening her first Christmas gift, with only a tiny bit of help from her Dad.
Whereas all the help that Mather needed was her new chopsticks to help her bust into the big gifts under the tree!
Perhaps it would have been a little quicker with my new poultry shears - watch out!
Ah, the sweet sound of success... or is that the clunking of the horse and rider? (check out the cool new socks - not knit by me) This kept her occupied for quite some time while we continued opening gifts.
These are pretty cool too. Chris drew caricatures of the family to hang from a mobile above Cora's crib. Here are the three of us:
Another big winner was a tiny picnic set that Nanna picked out for Mather. And she got new gloves - she opened 4 or 5 presents all while still wearing them. Her first inclination was to look around for her bicycle helmet because Dan wears gloves when he rides his bike.
Cup of tea anyone?

Thanks for inviting the rest of us to share Christmas with you. Visuals beat out phone conversations, hands-down.

I love the caricature of Dan. That is good stuff.
BOTH daughters are adorable. It's great you all could spend Christmas together. We missed you but had a fantastic time in Mexico. I hope to see you soon.
