Photo Time


It's time for some photos. I finally downloaded some from my phone. Many of these are on my instagram feed, but I think Robyn might be the only one seeing those.

First up: Christmas Activities.

We decorated gingerbread men with our preschool group last week. Then we did it again last night as a family. I bought little tubes of frosting, because Tess can do them herself, but they taste awful! Pity.

 While Eric went winter camping this weekend, Tess and I went into Rockefeller Center. Insane crowds, but an OK time was had nonetheless. Tess thought these huge Christmas lights were rocket ships.
 Napping after we got home:
 Then we had our building Christmas party. When I said the word party, Tess demanded that I let her wear her special "rose dress." She can't wait for her next opportunity to wear it. Me either.
Tess especially loves this little girl who is in Kindergarten. Tess has a few friends in the neighborhood who are five years old. They love to act like older sisters, and Tess loves following them around. I practically didn't see her for the whole night, because she shadowed the older girls.
 We got a Santa hat.
Tess likes to put these ponytail holders around her ankles. Yesterday she told me they were her "tights for running," and she put them on and then ran all around the apartment. She wouldn't let me take them off when we went outside, and by the time we got to music class, she had deep indentations in her ankles. :( She let me take them off at that point.

She still won't wear clothes in the house. It seriously limits my picture posting. :)

I enjoyed seeing these pictures so much. She is a beautiful little girl. I wish so much it were possible to be around her regularly. It makes it much easier than I can't that you post these pictures and stories.

All that curly hair makes me swoon!

We are doing quite well, thank you! Camille is nearing 2, Cuong is a year and a half away from finishing grad school, and I'm starting a new nursing job tomorrow.
