We stole a few moments of family time on Christmas Eve to let Alaire open her first Christmas present.  While she did amazingly well peeling off wrapping paper, as expected, she was far more interested in eating the paper than playing with her new toys.  First gifts included clothes (already wearing 18 months) and peek-a-boo blocks from Mom, Dad & Kenzie.  She also got a special hot pink and purple track-suit from Daddy (a surprise to mommy too)!  Also, Alaire turned 8 months the day before!
