Christmas 2011

The Green Sisters

Dr. Bronwyn examines the contents of her new doctor kit.

Bronwyn plays at the Point Defiance Zoo playground.  This is the same pink toy she crawled into here.

Walking up to Bronwyn's first day of preschool.  Really this was the tour/introduction to preschool but I think we can count it as the first day.  Bronwyn is enrolled in preschool 1 day per week.

Big Yawn for Birtie Mae

Mom and Birtie Mae

Birtie Mae in one of her many hand-me-downs she'll be wearing for the next 18 years.  This outfit was how Bronwyn became Bronwyn Bear

Santa left Bronwyn an Eye-Spy toy.  She's looking in the clear window to find little objects such as a penny or button in a bag full of rice. 

Walking to see Santa at University Village in Seattle.
