Christmas in Boston!

So many pictures!

 

Jack insisted everyone leave the room before he give Mary a hug goodbye :-).

 

Snow!

 

Mary insisted she could pull Jack. She made it a few feet, surprisingly.

 

"I climbed the mountain!

 

Waiting for hot chocolate.

 

Santa came to visit!

 

Mary would only take her gift from Santa, not sit on his lap.

 

Rosie was the only child who would sit with Santa.

 

Harmonicas!

 

My two candy canes.

 

Pabbi had a craving for candy cane.

 

Headed to Christmas eve mass.

 

Mary pulled out the lining of her stocking, just to be sure she didn't miss any presents.

 

Mary LOVES the camera Grandpop gave her.

 

Rosie is officially old enough for the Jumperoo!

 

Leaving the Nutcracker. Mary had fun and loved her crown.

 

Brunch with friends.

 

 

Heading back to Iceland. Mary was super excited to wheel her suitcase in the airport. 

 

Snack time before the flight.

 

School Christmas party

 

Mary was so excited to show us (and eat) the gingerbread cookies she helped make.

  

Sunday morning snuggles. Rosie looks indifferent, but she was enjoying it.

 

Rosie was no help when it came to finding her toy.

 

Then I decided to cut her some slack. She's only 4 months old, after all.

Christmas party and other activities

 

Mary bravely collected her gift from Santa.

 

Rosie watched from the sidelines. 

 

Mary agreed to sit on Santa's lap, but her smile was a bit stiff  :-).

 

Trying on her new big girl gloves.   

 

  

Rosie likes to read in her spare time.

 

Giving herself a bubble beard.

 

Mary found some old Mama sunglasses.

 

 

Mary's photography skills are improving; she managed to get her subjects in the frame.

 

She also took a series of pictures of her new piggy bank.
