Christmas

Christmas Eve at Grandma Sohair's House

Yea for Christmas presents. There were so many for me to open from all our family.

Uncle Fahmy and Aunt Geri

I went right to Uncle Fahmy the moment I saw him and let him hold me a lot that evening.

MORE -- MORE

During the drive home Christmas morning I spotted Mom cracking open a tin of Christmas cookies in the front seat. For the first time I put my fingertips togther and signed MORE, for more Christmas cookies.

Christmas morning we drove to El Centro, opened presents then had dinner with the Gaddis family. This is my cousin Mykenzie playing the piano with me.

On a sunny Saturday morning Mom and I walked into town to watch the El Centro Christmas Parade. I'm sitting with Mrs. Brock and her daughters Elizabeth and Amelia and their cousin Gracie. I was entertained by the floats and would clap along when marching bands went by.

The week before Christmas I had friends over to Granny Julie's house for a Christmas Party. We made sticker nativity scenes, ate gingerbread man sandwiches, played games, sang songs with kazoos and jingle bells and decorated cookies. I really liked eating the cookies, but my favorite part was playing in the sandboat with my friends. I'm just like Dad and always wanted to have my hands on the wheel!

A little decorating and a lot of eating Christmas cookies with my friends Michael, Timothy and Micah.
