We are officially parade obsessed. Can't get enough of them. Same thing for fun Christmas movies on the DVR, non-stop Christmas music and break-and-bake cookies (those awesome kind that you break off a block of dough and wait 15 minutes for piping hot not-homemade-but-close-enough cookies). We'll even turn out for a little neighborhood tree-lighting or a few holiday parties! It's been a fun season around here, and I think it's actually just getting started for us. My family started arriving today (baby brother/Uncle Maffer is already here; Uncle Monkey/Mike and Yammy & Poppa arrive on Saturday), so there is lots more celebrating to come.
Amazingly, Millie seems to be able to keep track of who is arriving on the "big errplane" each day. But for some reason, she also thinks that some of her friends from DC are also joining us this Christmas. She brings me a little photo album with their pictures and asks to see or talk to them. "Talk to Caedmon? Talk to Taylor? See "Eeena (Katrina)? Grace at?" It's fun to watch her process all of her memories and heartbreaking to tell her that we won't be seeing her friends next week.
Here we are, Christmassing our fool heads off...
Yes, I obviously posed him for this shot. But I've walked in on Millie shoving this hat onto Simon's head at least a few times. She goes for Casey's head, too, but Casey's caught on to the game now and is just too fast!
Making our escape to Christopher's command Christmas party.

OHHH. How I wish that we could be there to see her for Christmas! Maybe we'll do skype after Christmas...and even a playdate sometime when we're in CA!
Love,
"EEna"
