Colba Christmas

This past Saturday we headed up to Augusta for the Colba Christmas. Anna LOVED the experience and by the time we got home on Monday she was saying "We will go visit Grandma and Grandpa tomorrow." Good food for all, good company, good memories. Too bad Kate still isn't the greatest of travellers. At least she's happy and cheerful once we arrive someplace :)


Anna, again, was great about the gift exchange. She enjoyed helping pass out presents, especially the ones she helped make, but of course liked opening gifts the best. She was very sweet about giving "nose kisses", too, as you can see in the picture above.

Grandpa Colba continues to make wonderful pieces of furniture for our family and this year gifted the girls with a set of table and chairs that is just their size. Since we've been home it has certainly been the centerpiece in our basement. It's great for playing games, doing puzzles, coloring, setting up the train, tea parties, etc.


Anna was so sweet about asking Adam and my parents to do things. She'd come up to Grandpa and say "Would you like to play Uno with me?" or she'd approach Adam and say "Can we run laps together?" (of course Grandma showed her a great route for running laps in their house). She is certainly a polite young lady, at least when she's not dealing with Mom and Dad.



Kate was a riot, too, since she learned to growl (literally) while we were there. And since we've been home it's even worse! In fact, this morning she started growling as soon as she was done with her morning feeding, and she does it with a smile on her face, too. This child makes us laugh so much just by the little things she does.



Silly girls also learned that they can tackle and rough-house with just about anyone, Grandma included.
