That hug looks a little too tight to me

My Girls

Reading with Grandma Barbie

We spent Christmas in Tucson and had a great time even though it was a short visit. Sophia got to play with her cousins, Jimmy and Hannah, and had a blast. I, unfortunately, did not get any pictures of them. Reading, eating, napping, visits from close friends, and running around took up most of our days and that was just fine with all of us!

Birthday Cupcakes for Jesus

Sophia thought that we should make Jesus some cupcakes for his birthday. Her thoughts were that he would love to have pink cupcakes with pink frosting. I guess she and Jesus have very similar tastes.

Christmas with Papa and TeeTee

We had Christmas with Papa and Tee Tee before we left for Tucson. Sophia got a lot of really fun stuff. Her favorite was a giant princess castle in which she spends endless hours playing make believe with her figurines. Thank you Papa and Tee Tee!

Dilemma

Sophia: Mom, if you asked if I wanted to go to Costco or to the park it would be a dilemma.

Me: Why is that? (I asked in order to see if she actually knew the meaning of dilemma)

Sophia: Because I like both places.

I guess she, indeed, does know the meaning of "dilemma."

Giant Mickey

Mike won a GIANT Mickey Mouse at a white elephant party and this was the perfect household for it to come to. Sophia pretends it is her "prince." It looks pretty hilarious when she tries to dance with something so big. She also likes to sit in his lap. Thanks for the gift, Dave!

Waves from Livvy

Livvy loves to wave at anyone who will look at her and it is SO cute.

Cinderella

She folded these all by herself. I was pretty impressed.

My sweet floor cleaner who sings, "Swing, swing nightingale" in her "rags."
