Two More "Firsts"

The saying is a picture is worth---well you know how it goes. I fear that gone are the days of perfectly poised snap shots. Lately, it seems that our photos are stories in and of themselves.

We got back from my brother's beautiful wedding and put up our tree to bring in the Christmas season with holiday cheer. After we set up the tree and arranged a few packages, Colin crawled right to them. He was overjoyed, as was I, at this momentous event. However, Malena instantly recognized that it was her package he discovered and did not share in the holiday spirit. She only allowed his exploration to continue until this photo was snapped. Then she promptly removed his hand and grabbed the gift from him. What preceded was another first-- a temper tantrum. Luckily, Caity had another shiny toy and quickly found contentment.
