I overhead this from the kitchen as Ella was singing in the living room (to the tune of "Wheels on the Bus":

"The diaper on the bus goes stink, stink, stink all through the town."

(Could someone in this extended family please decide what to eat for dinner?!!)

A Christmas Carol

We got our Christmas tree up and we think the little guy looks just marvelous. The box it comes in is falling apart and warped from years of sub-par storage. You can still read the $19.99 price tag on it, though barely. But we just love it. It seems to have been waiting for the perfect window. On Saturday we went to the Narberth Dickens Festival. It was a nice, sunny day and we took the girls in the wagon. I, unfortunately, did not get any crowd shots (the sidewalks were packed!), but I took a few.
The girls sipped apple cider from little cups as we made our way to the ballerinas doing dances from the Nutcracker.
Here Ella is eating her croissant from the local French bakery:
Andrew, bringing forth the hot toddy from the local pub. Yummy!
And, finally, Ella who apparently had cold hands.

Nora: I need chocolate.

Ella took off her pants, tore off her diaper, and asked me to take off her shirt saying "Mama, I need nakey. I need nakey." I took off her shirt and she ran around the house yelling "I'm a nakey! I'm a nakey!" (She's a lot like her Aunt Natalie was as a wee one in that regard!)

"I tried to eat the baby," said Nora.
She was referring to the smaller piece of sausage for breakfast.

Quote of the Day

I was sitting down with the girls at the table as they ate their dinner. I excused myself and I told them I was going to get myself a drink and come back, as I opened the fridge to get a Diet Pepsi. "Mama needs a drink," Ella said. Yeah.
