We're a two holiday household -- celebrating Hanukkah and Christmas. This year both seemed to be more about sparkling lights and the enthusiasm of parents and grandparents than Charlotte; but that only adds to the excitement for coming years. Plus, I've discovered that spoiling daughters is apparently a recessive trait in all men -- I own the Old Navy baby section.

In the picture above, our daughter is the embodiment of a scrappy Londoner -- she is indeed quite 'Appy. With a starter's collection of Dr. Seuss and a set of stackable cups, what more could a baby that is grabby and stare-y need from Christmas?

As for below? Our daughter is a fluffy pink Yeti courtesy of her Uncle Sam and Aunt Tai. This was easily one of the stars of Christmas as it introduced a new level of adorableness, heretofore unseen in Kansas City. So if you are ever feeling uncute, I suggest a full-body pink fleece snow outfit.
