Christmas Cookies and Terrible 2s (Early Onset)

With warm weather in Kuala Lumpur, the girls appear more suited for Easter than for Christmas with their warm weather dresses. They enjoyed getting a bit dressed up for church on Sunday, and the previous day was a day spent at grandma & grandpas.

In addition to swimming in the pool, Gabi helped Grandma Woodward make Christmas cookies. While Grandma Ramona worked diligently on decorating many of the cookies, Gabi spent considerable time decorating her "G" cookie all by herself. She did a great job and sure enjoyed eating the fruits of her labor.

Rania, on the other hand was the perfect example of the "terrible twos" with several screaming tantrums and a number of time-outs to try and calm her down. She was only comforted when we put in a video of herself running around the house. Immediately she was transformed to her happy self, yelling "baby! BABY!!." I guess being self-absorbed starts at a young age.

We are looking forward to Christmas, and Gabi is ecstatic about getting to open presents, while being sure that Santa will visit.
