let the Christmas traditions commence

So technically, last year was Aly's 1st Christmas, but at two months old, it didn't really count. Well, yes it did (to me, mainly), but for this Christmas, she's now walking and will be able to open her own presents and entertain us with her glee as she discovers her little gift-wrapped treasures. And since we didn't do the "Lontok Christmas Photo Tradition" last year (can't seem to remember why), we hopped along for the ride with my parents after our Thanksgiving lunner (you know, lunch/dinner) to pass this tradition unto our own family. It's just too bad we didn't get one of all of us (my parents and my family in one). Should have brought the tripod and self-timered it. Umph... now I think of it! Sheesh!

And here's Aly... on a girly mission....
