Christmas 2015

Christmas Eve the girls opened coordinating penguin jammies.  Everybody was thrilled about that.  It looks like Leona also was gifted with a wig but no, that is her actual hair.

The next morning everybody was excited to wake up, except Leona who could not figure out why her beauty rest was being disturbed.  

Then she caught the vision and was thrilled.

This photo captures how Leona spent Christmas morning, asking for candy to be opened so she could eat it as fast as a toddler can chew.  She took down all of the candy in her stocking in one morning and then had to be watched because she tried to snatch other peoples' candies.

 The star of the show as far as Leona was concerned though was the dog that she got for Christmas.  When you pet its back it barks or pants.  It was unclear for most of the day whether she thought it was real or knew that it was just a toy.  No matter which it was her love for that dog was obvious.

For Christmas we had a few visitors: Grandpa and Grandma Roueche, Aunt Cambrie, and soon to be Uncle Bryce as he and Cambrie had gotten engaged two days before Christmas.  We had a great time with everybody.  We went to see the lights on Temple Square one night, braving the frigid temperatures to do so.  The lights were beautiful and we were glad that we went.
