Ryan's message for the day: Duke s*cks.

Good girl...

Ian regularly praises Ryan by telling her "good girl" and now she has taken it upon herself to do the same. Repeating "good girl, good girl, good girl" as she does just about everything--tonight as she removed each letter from her alphabet puzzle she spared herself no praise!

Here she is enjoying her bubbles with Dad.

The D-Line...

We may have ourselves a football player after all. Ryan's class recently acquired a dancing Elmo for all the children to enjoy. Our girlie asserted her "ownership" of the class Elmo on Thursday when she noticed during snack time that one of her classmates was playing with him. She proceeded to drop her snack, run at the poor boy full-speed, tackle him to the ground, and take Elmo with her to the safety of the corner. I guess we will have to work on sharing...

Lady in red...

Today we decorated the tree and our girlie was kinda helpful. When the tree was trimmed we had a little photo shoot for our holiday card and here are some of our favorite outtakes.

A brush with the Big Guy...

Today we took our winter girlie to get a Christmas tree, and lo and behold, Santa was there! Tink had no recollection of meeting him last year, so it was a little uncomfortable for all. As soon as our little monkey collected herself, she was all for waving to Santa from across the room. Santa was pleased that Tink allowed him this brief encounter, but that was as close as we came to a Santa sit-down. Tomorrow we decorate the tree, but tonight, we cheer for the Panthers. GO PITT!
