Cara - Christmas and New Years 2008

12/24/08: Christmas Eve in Middletown.

The Playmobil swings, received the day before, get a workout. Cara carried these all over the house and insisted on always playing with them on the floor.

Good little girl with beet soup.

Grasping little girl with a pile of presents!

Gazing with adoration at her new dolls.

Now for dessert!

Frosty gets his close-up.

12/25/08: As I attempt to take a picture of Cara, she attempts to put a sticker on the back of my hand.

Opening her new video game console!

Cara demonstrates how she is "surprised-ed." Notice the cute little blue mermaid which she got to hang on her glass.

With her tongue out.

12/31/08: For New Year's Eve, we went to the Aquarium. Here is Cara at the touch tank.

Cara was willing to get two fingers wet, but never came close to touching a ray.

We had to get another one of these, since we could. I find it's been well over a year since the last head-through-a-hole shot!

While watching the sharks getting fed, Cara and Mommy saw this guy go by.

It was snowing on the beach! So we took pictures. What else could we do?

Later that evening, at Claire's house, Cara parties like it's 2009.

I celebrated New Year's Eve by extracting Cara's Cinderella figure from under Claire's oven with a broom. Here I am, emerging triumphant.
