Christmas pics

a few Christmas pics for you - as you can see she was set on presents. it was fun to watch her reaction after the first 2 gifts. she quickly realized that with each tear of the paper she was in for a surprise!!! our sweet friends, the langs, were gracious and included us in their Christmas again. hard to believe this is our 3rd Christmas with them! we are truly grateful and humbled by their willingness to let us join! aud enjoyed playing with sonya and teddy.

teddy telling aud about the phone, maybe telling her how to use it?? little does he know she is already a pro!!
