The Last Sunset

Sounds like a movie title, doesn't it? But this is 'the last sunset of 2008', as it appeared just a little while ago.

Enjoy... and have a Happy New Year! May your 2009 be filled with lots of beautiful things!

The Bilibo

Finally Courtney got to open a gift for herself!

At first look she thought it was a ball.

It's a Bilibo! I discovered one on a website somewhere and thought it looked interesting, and the reviews were really good. I haven't heard if she's doing much with it at home yet or not.

The little unwrapper

She was already pretty good at unwrapping gifts a year ago, as show in the little video on this post from last Christmas, but her skills have gotten even better! And such a tireless worker... she helped open every gift.

I love the finger point near the end. :-)

Here comes that bow again

Yep, that pretty red bow got reused!

Did you notice how that big present was only partially wrapped? It seems Courtney got a little over-eager and started unwrapping it at home before bringing it over to Grandma and Grampa's house. :-)

She was more than ready to help finish the job, too.

Actually, she was more impressed with the box itself than what was inside it. She had a great time later playing in it. Unfortunately, Grandma didn't have the camera going at that time. BUT, she did save the box for future play times!

Just a teaser

I took too many pics/videos!!! It's hard to sort and decide how to display and explain them. Here's a cute one to whet your appetite for more (although your appetite seems pretty good as it is). ;-)

It's a present for "Boppa" (translation: Grandpa). Nice bow on top, huh?
