Christmas 2012

For Christmas we went to see the Tappen Grandparents in Pueblo, Colorado. Geneva was serene as usual. She didn't get excited by presents, and in fact got a bit scared by the sounds of paper ripping... She was cute and happy most of the time, though. We had Christmas alone with the grandparents and then two sisters came in after Christmas, bringing the kid count up to 8! I didn't take any pictures with them unfortunately, probably because it was a little crazy. We had a really nice time, but I have a feeling everyone was more excited to see Geneva than us... it's ok though, how could you not feel that way?

With Grandma, wearing her Christmas outfit. We had to add the headband so she looked like a girl.

We had a white Christmas! We got a light dusting of snow overnight that mostly melted by the afternoon.

Mini Santa!

Trying to open a present with Daddy.

Stocking stuffers for parents. Henry's mom always says "Hello Luscious" when she gets KitKats, so it was worth it to get them just for that reaction.

Geneva in her pajamas. I just love her little face!

Geneva with her baby ornament. Look at those eyelashes!

Henry's favorite present. This is his Superman cape that he used to wear all the time as a little boy. He even wore it in one of his school pictures (when I find it I will put it up here!). 

Geneva's new favorite book - Introductory Calculus for Infants

Out for a walk. Don't be deceived by the sunshine, it was freezing (as evidenced by the un-melted snow I guess).

Tasty Christmas dinner

These roasted brussels sprouts were amazing! Made with almonds, raisins,  and butter.

Here is a non-Colorado picture of Geneva with our Christmas tree.

Geneva with Santa. She wasn't worried or scared at all!

Geneva with her only toy she got for Christmas, a block set from her cousin. She loves it! Next year maybe she'll be on the NICE list and Santa will bring her some presents :)
