New photos before a new year

Yes, folks, we're looking forward to Lil' Genghis' third calendar year here on Planet Earth, where two Children of Abraham have settled a petty land dispute in a holy land and even would-be political hacks improve their success by standing up for what's right. Well, not really. Anyway, there's more for Lil' Genghis: Future World Leader to clean up.

But she's still in her innocent childhood stage. She's had an awful amount of fun lately, including a trip Sunday to see Disney on Ice. It was fun watching her.

So, the photos:

Presents, we agreed.

Of course, any kid is prone to get diverted from the real toys for a box, or something else that can be entertaining ...
