Sania and daddy in front of the National Christmas Tree.
Reid asks if we can buy the trains from around the National Christmas Tree. It's difficult, actually, to resist that grin.
At Reid's Kindergarten winter party, he made a snowman with his mom.
Here's the two of them working ont he snowman.
Reid and his teacher, Mrs. Weaver.
Sania got Princess Footie pajamas. Naturally.
K's cousin's kids Rachel and Samantha came over to decorate cookies. Sania ate frosting (see lips) while Rachel created works of art, all supervised by Grammie.
Reid was mostly involved in minimalist cookie decoration. Samantha was sprinkle-focused.
Sania appeared to just eat frosting.
Sania got a White Teddy Bear from Santa Claus. As requested.
Reid and Sania review Santa's note and the mess he and the reindeer left behind.
Cutting to the chase, K got her dad beer for Christmas.
Celebrating an amazing season, Reid received Alabama sweat gear from his grandparents.
Everybody got aprons. Sania is noticing her lack of a sweatband.
Reid got a Leapster. Following some sort of deep-seated genetic code found in boys born after 1990, he immediately began playing the game it came with and by now (1/7/2009) has beaten and solved it.
Grammie and Sania play with her new super-Play-doh (or Pluto, as Sania says) activity table.
Reid, Daddy and Pawpaw build an X-Wing Fighter from Legos. Note that Reid took off the sweatband but Pawpaw is still wearing his wireless headphones.
The kids table at Christmas dinner. This represented the most peaceful moment of the entire night.
Grammie reads Fancy Nancy to some kids on Christmas.
Second most peaceful moment: When we gave up and turned on the TV.
Overall, the kids were great. It does look in this picture like the young man in front of the couch, Nathaniel, is holding a beer. If so, we apologize.
Aunt Alia and Uncle Sean brought Penelope by for a careful examination of Reid's head.
Penelope liked rolling around on the floor and smiling. Also yelling, because she had an earache.
Reid, Sania, Petra and mommy.
Penelope opens a gift at the Rizk family Christmas.
Sania simple can't believe that at this point there are still gifts to open.
In honor of their ability to cook, we awarded these women aprons.
The force will be with him always.
