Christmas Parties and Misc. stuff

Here are some pictures of our neighborhood Chrismtas "get together". They had really good hot chocolate and Brynley had about 6 cookies.
Mariska had Santa painted on her face, and actually LEFT it on!! It's a Christmas miracle!
We need to get an extension cord for the lights, so they aren't laying on the grass. But I think Brent does a great job on our little house every year.
Mariska cuddling with her George at night. She is so attached to that doll!

We opened her family birthday gifts on her actual birthday. I also spend part of my already busy day making her another cake, which she didn't eat... she wanted to play with her new toys instead. Go figure.

Mariska loved the Build-a-bear Teddy that her Great Grandma Rasmussen sent for her!

She also got some new "petjobs" (Littlest Pet Shop toys)

She was so funny. As she was unwrapping her new Prince Phillip doll she says, "What is it? Oh I hope it's Princessy!" Well, lucky her, it was!

She's so funny. She never looks at the camera! This is now our Ward Christmas party.

I was so proud of Brynley for not freaking out!

I loved to see the look on Mariska's face when she realized Santa was here!

Brynley is talking a bunch now. It's so funny, whenever we ask her a question she says "no" then we ask, "Do mean yes?" and then she squats down and yells "YES!" as she jumps up... in this video she does a slower version...

After I told her to say "Hi Grandpa", she went over to the tv, pointed at the guy on it and said "Grandpa"... I think she was a little confused.
