A Christmas Story by Brent

Every great story starts with a great setting:





Is there anything better than a child's smile at Christmas?...







...or an adult's? This is a "New Moon" tote that Lisa is holding up with cult-like enthusiasm.



Hannah always has a focus. Can you guess what it is in this picture?



Mia is not only putting this puzzle together. She is hypothesizing as to how long it will take her to finish it.



At times it becomes necessary to orient your toys to your lifestyle. Here Charlotte is teaching her new doll about her love of cheese.



Hannah & Mia got "FurReal" animals that make life-like sounds and move their heads and front legs around. Lisa had a hard time interrupting her playtime with them long enough to wrap them.




Hannah is reading so well now. This is her new book "Ladybug Girl, Bumblebee Boy." She gets so excited when she can read a book all by herself. As Hannah realizes the treasures of literacy, Mia searches for treasures of CANDY in other people's stockings.



You talkin' da me? You talkin' da me? You must be. I'm the only baby in pink monkey pajamas in the room.









Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight!
