Christmas card efforts and cookies

This is one of nearly one hundred photos JIm and I took in a vain attempt to catch both girls smiling and looking cute for a holiday card.  (we did eventually succeed, or more precisely, my friend Lannie succeeded.  But you will have to wait for your card to see that photo! )  This one here was about the best I could manage.  Most were one baby giggling and the other one facing the opposite direction or about to topple off a chair. 
Here is miss Cecelia decorating Christmas cookies with godmother Shelley.  She got the knack of it after 5 or so cookies and several tablespoons' worth of icing ingestion.  Suffice it to say, there was a lot of running and running and screaming done last night after this activity.
Cecelia waiting for her closeup. Doesn't she look all grown up here?  The 'terrible twos' I had thought was a misnomer, now I am starting to think it is an appropriate label if a few more adjectives were thrown in.  Exhausting, hilarious, adorable, monstrous....
