Poppy arrived on Christmas day in the afternoon from a trip. He was busy making sure other people could be with their families and loved ones for Christmas. Charlotte was so excited to see him! We waited to open most of the presents until he arrived.
Charlotte carrying Mem's new fancy Cole Haan purse while saying "bye bye". Charlotte actually got a purse of her own from Mem and Poppy stuffed with fun things like a real wallet with play credit cards, bracelets, a brush, a calculator (that she thinks is a phone), and a bead necklace.
Charlotte's new baby doll. In this picture, she is actually giving the baby some milk. I couldn't believe that she just took the baby, held it to her chest, and did the sign for "milk". She even let out a little sigh while she was "nursing" the baby. It was precious.

Charlotte helping Uncle Brian cook Christmas dinner. She's standing in her new kitchen helper tower that we got from Nanny and Papa. It's by far one of our favorite and much needed gifts! We can't do anything at the countertop level without holding Charlotte up to see so this is perfect. It's become tradition for Brian to cook Christmas dinner. He does a top notch job!
A picture of Christmas dinner. It was one of the best meals I've ever had and it was all prepared by Brian and Dave. The menu included organic beef tenderloin, twice baked organic potatoes, sauteed green beans with toasted almonds, sauteed mushrooms, and morel mushrooms. It was all accompanied by some of the best wine and champagne I've ever tasted - thanks to Brian, of course.
