Rini's second Christmas

Last year was Rini's first Christmas, and there were all sorts of wonderful things that happened. The only glitch is that I doubt Rini remembers any of it. Goodness, I barely remember it. I'll just to go back to last years blog and see what I wrote. Hopefully something!

This year we tried to do a little bit of a family christmas thing. I know that it's only Christmas Eve, but before we headed out chez Tolley, we opened up the presents that we got from Grammie and Grandpa Clark (my parents). They are going to be visiting Grandma tomorrow, but I don't know if we would be able to drop by for a visit of sorts. We'll have to play it by ear.

It a drastic departure, this year the Christmas PJ's were cropped pants and knee socks! There were also T-shirts, but the socks were blue and black stripes, and the shirts blue with black cropped pants. For all the grandkids, they all fit like pants, if they fit. It's kind of weird to have solid colours. I'm used to the zany prints that always befit the crazy Tolley clan. This year, solid colour, but the socks are new. Crazy didn't let me down!

Rini might have discovered a new favourite toy with one of the presents from Grammie and Grandpa! There was a felt flower that she absolutely loves. She even dropped her bunny to play with it, and that's saying something! For the six months that she's had that bunny they have pretty much been inseparable.

I've also learned that Rini is kind of funny when it comes to watching movies. Granted, she just turned 22 months today, but she only likes movies that are really cute. She LOVES Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit, but of that movie, she only likes the part with the little bunnies. She also likes the DVD game, but she runs around and plays while the movie runs for the more part, as she did today when we watched "Horton Hears A Who." Funny funny movie, really cute, lots of smart comedy, good physical comedy, but could not hold Rini's attention. What a goof!

She was quite the character while taking the family pictures, and at first she didn't want to lie down on the ottoman, but when she saw her cousins doing it, we couldn't get her off! We got some really cute pictures, but I'll have to post them later. We'll get the pictures emailed to us, probably before the new year, and I'll be able to do something with them then.

Should be for a wonderful day tomorrow!

Also, it's much safer to drive Elene now. All we had to do was open up the Fresh air vents and most of the moisture in the car was able to equalize with the air outside. Who knew?
