Christmas a la Bob & Trudi

Merry Christmas!
We had our Stagg Family Christmas gathering last night. Adelaide got all gussied up and LOVED it. We exchanged gifts, Trudi made an outstanding meal, and Bob even pitched in and whipped up dessert - "Stand Up and Cheer Pie." Which is delicious; chocolate cookie crumb crust, peppermint ice cream filling, a merengue topping, and served with homemade dark chocolate sauce. Before the holidays are over I am going to gain all my allotted 2nd term pregnancy weight. Our families really over-enjoy food, I think.

Papa, Gammy, and Miss Fancy Pants

What a stunning tree, huh?

Gigi (my maternal grandmother) sent gifts that we opened last night. She refused to remove the hat/scarf combo for the majority of the evening. Adelaide had NO problems whatsoever in the ripping open presents department, there was neither hesitation nor confusion about what one should do with a nicely wrapped package.

As ever, Bob & Trudi are very generous gift givers and I was given a Flip Video Recorder... below is my first attempt at using it!

That's adorable! She puts her little hand up and everything! Too cute! I love it that she wears hats. Bryn won't keep them on for anything. I guess it's a good thing we didn't stay in Idaho!
