These are a Few of My Favorite Things

We've really been getting into the holiday spirit at our house.  Here, Natalie participates in some traditional holiday activities:

First, we helped Aunt Beth shop for a cocktail dress for an upcoming holiday party...

Natalie begged me to install mirrors like this in her room!

Then she got impatient and decided she couldn't wait any 

longer for Beth to come out of the fitting room.

This morning we baked our first batch of Christmas cookies.  Natalie helped demonstrate proper stirring technique with her own bowl and spatula.

No tastes for her this year...

And, finally, Natalie opens a St. Nick gift!  She loved the music this holiday story played, and best of all that it was narrated by two familiar voices.  What a treat!
