Christmas

We had a great and busy Christmas.  Alena and Nora opened presents at two Christmas parties, Aunt Julianne had a baby shower, and Grandma Dee celebrated her 60th birthday!  Best of all, we got to see all of the cousins, aunts and uncles.  And no one was sick!  Nora was excited to hear that there was a baby inside Aunt Julianne's tummy and did her best to pamper her by making sure she was always wearing shoes.  In just a few months there will be two new babies, ending Nora's reign as the youngest of the Ossmans.  She is ready to meet her cousins!  Nora's favorite Christmas present was a new baby doll.  At the end of the day, it is always puppy though.  We will miss Nora saying "sansa, ho ho ho," now that the season is drawing to a close.

Alena's Christmas wish to Santa came true and she received her fairy wings and her fairy dress.  She really loves them.  Her name is "Fairy Princess Crystal."  Alena also got a new big girl doll named Sandy who has lots of outfits to change into.  Grandma Diane sewed most of the outfits.  She even sewed princess dresses for all of the girls, including Sandy!
