Magical Christmas

I've only complained twice so far because I didn't get everything I asked for. And three days from now I'll surely say I'm bored and have "nothing to play with." 

But the truth is, we had a very Merry Christmas, and were blessed with lots of awesome presents.

Timeless traditions.

A healthy family that loves each other.

And the belief that Santa Claus exists.

Love and magical Christmas wishes to all,

More Seasonal Favorites

A few more Christmas favorites.

Small outdoor space = small snowman.

 Cookies for all.

Homemade decorations.

Homemade Christmas presents for Mommy and Daddy.

Santa, Santa everywhere.

And all of this makes for very tired little girls.

Love and Christmas traditions,

Happy Winter

Could today really be the first day of Winter? It was sunny and 50 degrees in Brooklyn. Hardly ideal weather for Christmas, but definitely a perfect day for the playground.

Love and winter solstice,

Little Artists

One of Zadia's favorite activities is painting.

And her masterpieces are pretty impressive.

I love painting too. but I'm still in the messy painting phase.

We'll be sure to send you an invitation to our art show in the Spring!

Love and brush strokes,

The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow

To Mommy's surprise, I chose the Broadway musical, Annie, over Disney on Ice for our mommy-daughter date. Not sure who was more excited, me, or Mommy! We headed out on a late Sunday afternoon (stroller free, for a change!) and took the train to Times Square. 

By the time we got off the train, the sun had set and the city streets were decorated with a light dusting of snow. We walked up Broadway hand-in-hand catching snowflakes on our tongues. We braved the massive tourist and holiday crowds at Toys R Us, where I was more excited about getting Christmas gifts for my sister and my friends than I was about picking a present out for myself. 

We had just enough time to share a booth and a hamburger before the 6:30 show. 

 We sat way up in the balcony, me on Mommy's lap, eating M&Ms and applauding enthusiastically. 

 We LOVED every minute of it, but it was too far past my bedtime for me to make it to the end. Mommy says the whole night was romantic, but I'm not quite sure what that means. I just know it was a magical night for both of us.

Love and magical dates with Mommy,

Sparkle and Shine

Three reasons why we love our Christmas tree:

1. Purple lights

2. Sparkly snowflakes

3. Shiny bulbs

And Mommy only slightly micro-managed us this year. Remember Mommy, it's all about the process :)

Love and a perfectly trimmed Christmas tree,
