My mom came here to Rochester for Christmas again this year. It was so nice. Her dog, Chloe experienced her first Christmas which meant we had to fence up the presents around the tree. It reminded me of the years we had a tiny tree and it was set up on a table to keep it safe from the girls when they were 1-2 years old. Christmas Eve we went to church together and then went out to dinner at a Chinese buffet. Elyana entertained us by trying to speak Chinese very loudly. Christmas morning, we opened presents and made a wonderful lunch. My work assistant, Christie was here for Christmas with her newborn and came over to join us. My mom and I had so much joy holding her baby. We both agreed that it was a blessing and a distraction from thinking of our first Christmas without my sister.

| The girls made a birthday cake for Jesus. They used the extra batter to make cake pops for Santa. |

| This is what Elyana likes to do with Christmas wrapping bubble wrap. She fashioned herself a dress with duct tape. |
