January Part 4: Gifts & Protest

We finally had an opportunity to go out and get Oliver's Christmas gift from Nanny and Pop Pop, so Madeline opened her gift, too.


She was thrilled to find an American Girl doll inside, with plenty of sparkly outfits to wear.


Oliver was also excited about his gift: a new bed.  After picking it out, he was excited to help assemble it too.


Madeline was also glad to help.


Once the bed was assembled, Oliver was very pleased ...


... and proud!


[Interlude: an intense Madeline drawing face.]


Another weekend brought another protest.



Madeline asked a lot of questions: Why the wall?  What's the ban?  What's a refugee?


Then as we marched, Madeline chanted, "No hate, no fear, refugees are welcome here!"  Oliver mostly just took it all in.


It was another enlightening experience.
