Round number 3 of Christmas… this time with Stephie and Shawn. The girls got an awesome Dora the Explorer book — Dora is a puppet and you put your fingers in her arms to make them “move”. The girls loved it… along with the Dora book from G&G Bickers and the Silly Songs book from G&G Decker.
Dinner was fun and funny. Abby did her traditional “raise your hands and wait for everyone else to do so” regularly. Everyone participated as “instructed”. 🙂 🙂
An odd thing… Emi chowed down on the steak and potatoes… Abby refused to touch it, but whined and whined. Ron finally said he thought she wanted something to eat that she likes, so I got her bananas and oranges and bread and some other stuff and she chowed down as did Emi again! Emi even ate all Abby’s steak. Go figure.
Here are the girls… just waiting for us to join them for dinner…
Poor girlies… all alone at the end of the table.
All in all it was fun and filling… with Christmas carols (better late than never) and musical accompanyment (sp?) by Steph and I. Apparently Steph has an ear for music and instead of getting worse without practice, she gets better! She played nearly every song, on the violin, by ear as I played with music. Neato!!
