At midnight Maile and Darci both had a blast banging pans and trying to wake up the whole neighborhood. The both actually did really well considering they were about five hours past their bed time by the time we went home. It is amazing how far a little Dr. Pepper can go.
Maile is not a shy child. At the New Years Eve party at the Johnson's she found the first person she could and roped her in to reading her a story. The funny thing is, it wasn't anyone she had met before, it was Kyle's friend, Nicole. Maile really took a shine to her.
Darci is a big fan of her animals. She loves to get all her animals out and line them up and play zoo with them. It gets to be quite a mess sometimes when she is able to find all of them. She also likes to "teach" them and when it is time to go to bed she sometimes makes them say prayers.
On Christmas Darci seemed to have just as much fun helping hand out gifts as she did opening them. She did get a bike and a kitchen set. She love to play with her kitchen set with Maile and make her parents lunch and birthday cakes.
Darci also got a couple of movies that she enjoys watching. It is so cool to see her remember the lines and music to these movies after only watching them a couple of times. She also likes to quote "Elf" and tell you everything that happened to the characters in the latest movie that she watched.

Two of Maile's favorite new toys that she got for Christmas was a rocking horse that makes sounds, and a giant stuffed snake.
Unfortunately for Maile she does feel the cold and after a few minutes this cute smile was gone as she started to shiver and cry for something warm.

After the first big snow of the season Darci was just dying to go out and play in the snow and build a snowman The biggest problem that we had while trying to build the snowman was that Maile and Darci don't really have any good snow stuff so they were constantly getting snow in their gloves and boots. Luckily for Darci she doesn't feel the cold.
It has been fun to see Maile and Darci really start to bond and find that they have things in common. Maile really like to be read to and Darci likes to try to read to her.
