Mia just had to ride the little Walmart play place rides with Jude. Bribery all through the store for a good behavior reward. I believe we've all done it. Every time I shop, anyways.

Putting up the Christmas tree...

With friends who come around... It's always fun when Christmas comes to town. Can't resist the finish on that polar express moment I just had. Now that our tree is up I can put the movie in, pop some popcorn with lots of white cheddar popcorn salt! Oh by golly its CHRISTMAS!!

More Mia

Mia is hooked on her own flair these days. She's obsessed with this fluffy dress and SUPER opinionated about her hair. She decided to dress herself and do her own hair today. I'm actually impressed. Her attention to detail shows in her fancy little twist.

Thanksgiving 2012

Cousins, cousins! These kids adore each other. Mia, Zaihra, and Mariah all chummed together eating, playing (with matching hair) and sleeping at Grammys house for a long awaited sleepover. Lots of fun with cute crafts and games for the kiddos, and way too much food. Many thanks all year long! Happy Thanksgiving!

Jewelry face

See it? Mia assisted me in reorganizing my jewelry tray. I love her creativity.

Letters of love

I get so many of these sweet notes. This one is from Taylor. She left it where I could find it. All folded and taped into a homemade envelope. I love how these girls keep my fridge full of sweet notes.

Sniffy Face

Jude has a new look to give me when he's all done with what I'm trying to feed him!

Mia's thankful for...

Mia was asked to draw a picture of three things she was grateful for to share at preschool. She drew an impressive replica of "Violet" her singing bear, ladybug wings (which is also a picture of the ladybug wings she LOVES, that go to her favorite costume), and finally RAINBOWS! She is so fascinated with everything rainbow. Red-orange-yellow-green-blue-purple are her favorite colors. I love how every picture she brings me is colored like a rainbow. I want to see the world through her eyes!

Worked OUT

Today my running shoes told me their mileage is currently expired. My iPod arm strap chimed in as well notifying me that I have officially crustified it to the point of cracking. #dearsanta #mommyneedsanewpairofshoes
