The lovely statuette pictured above is Faith’s Christmas gift to Annette. This marks the first time Faith has ever had the idea of giving a gift for Christmas. She said she wanted to give Bugga a present. She picked it out at the store, and she boxed it. On the Day, when it was time to open presents at Bugga’s house, Faith was more excited about Bugga opening her gift than she was about opening her own! It was an Epiphany of sorts.

The work of learning never stops, not even on Christmas. Among Faith and Abby’s presents were a dinosaur picture book, and a big box of a wide variety of toy dinosaurs. They’ll be absorbing paleontology as they play. Or, maybe they’ll just make the Mommy Dinosaur and the Baby Dinosaurs go shopping. It’s up to them, really.
