Although she won't remember it, Chloe had a fun Christmas too.  Chloe's theme this year was DORA.  It's funny to us, because when Brooks was two that is the only show he liked to watch.  We'd try to get him to watch Diego but he much preferred Dora.  So, the Dora obsession is nothing new to us.  We are already experts on Dora, Boots, Benny, Swiper...the Grumpy old Troll.  Impressed?
 Chloe helped her brother make cookies that were supposed to look like snowmen.  On all of her creations there was no shortage of chocolate chips. Not one of them looked like a snowman. It was fun though to watch her put a handful in her mouth and then a handful on the cookie.  
 Everything that Brooks does, Chloe does too.   We are constantly telling Brooks not to climb on things (couch, chairs, island) not only because it's not nice manners but also because right behind him his two year old sister is attempting to also scale the couch or climb on the island just like her brother.  There are some healthy things that she copies though, hockey being one of them.  She loves to go to the rink with her brother and this will likely be the last year we can get away without skates for her.
 Chloe got a sweet Christmas haircut.  It was her first haircut and makes her look so grown up.  The first few days she had it she'd beg me to flat iron it and she held so still.  

She's such a diva.
 Chloe got swimming lessons for Christmas along with a new pair of goggles.  Once she had opened this gift, the goggles were worn the rest of the night.  She insisted that we kept putting them back on her  when they fell off.  
Funny girl.
 Chloe enjoyed  Christmas night shakes made in my new Vita-mix.  Thank you, Greg.
