christmas cards

greta LOVES all the christmas cards that have been coming in the mail. if she is awake when the mail arrives, we open them together. if the mail comes during naptime, i leave the cards on her table and she goes through them when she gets up. she POURS over the photographs, studying the people in the photos and asking over and over who they are, even when she knows the answer. she insisted that the card of "baby addie" sit with her during lunch, and she stood and "talked" to the card of her best buddy ella for about 25 minutes when it arrived. her genuine excitement for the little things is definitely contagious, and definitely what the season is all about....
