2013 Christmas card attempts.

Annea "takes" a picture of Eliana with my phone.

The girls! This one made our Christmas card.

Eliana singing at her preschool Christmas show.

Gingerbread house construction.

St. Nicholas night at church.

Vasona Christmas lights. Annea got right in on the sunroof action.

Horse-drawn carriage ride!

Fall Continued

Adessa lost her two front teeth, in true "All I want for Christmas" style.

Footie pajamas! Unfortunately, only Annea will keep hers on, everyone else is too finicky for footed pjs, too many places to itch.

Our little bird. I put her in the windowsill to look out at the yard, but she loved it. She likes small ledges and dangerous places.

Eliana's electric hair at Sky Park.

Eliana and Annea scouting a field trip with me in Watsonville. They had a blast tearing around on the cool ramp.

Coffee with Auntie Lolo. The lookalikes.

Running off steam at Felton Park, we walked/jogged two laps in the middle of mid-week errands.

Pony Rides! Nicene's birthday was so fun, absolute horse theme including this little pony. Great fun.

Barbie-vember

Inspired by an online find called "Dinovember", where a family's plastic dinosaurs came to life each night in November, we experienced Barbie-vember. Barbies were the things with expression and faces that we had the most of lying around. It was fun (and exhausting). Adessa and Eliana loved finding them in the morning and guiding me to them (I was supposed to close my eyes and let them lead me). The girls were sad that November ended, while by the end I was greatly relieved. But it was fun!
