Cats, Kids and Christmas



Maggie's Christmas tradition is playing in the wrapping paper when we open gifts. :o)














Aubrey enjoyed watching all the action from the best seat in the house.










Reece likes to watch Frances on the pre-school kids on demand channel, so he got the book Bread And Jam For Frances in his Christmas stocking. Here he is, examining it closely. Then he wanted bread. :o)






And here he is, having bread (no jam) with Frances.

He loves to imitate what he sees and hears, whether on television, in books or in real life. It's so cute.

We had a lovely Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Our celebration will continue, as our oldest son and his family arrive in the next few days.

Merry Second Day of Christmas!

I didn't know Frances is a tv show! We have the audio (cassette) of Bread and Jam and have listened to it hundreds of times. It's great!
Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Merry Christmas, Linda!

The Frances videos are about 25 minutes long. Reece has watched Bedtime For Frances, Goodbye for Frances and Whiny Sister For Frances over and over. The animation is beautifully done by the Jim Henson Company, and the videos are true to the books.

The cable company changes the videos every few weeks, so there is a new one now and then. You may be able to find the DVDs.
