Goodies!!

When Abuela arrived we opened up the packages of goodies. Some from her, some from the ABCD's. Boy was that fun!

Whiskey!

...or should we say, Calaca!

super cool.

New dresses and T-shirts from Abuela.
...and, Yes he is guapo.
If strangely bent.



We had a little visit from Spidey.
Spidey wears only the mask at night.
He saves the outfit for daylight hours, let it breathe a little.




A very unhappy puppy showed up at one point.
I think he missed his 100 other brothers.
Or maybe he didn't think the vest matched...






I think he was just lonely.

But then the roaring tiger showed up and frightened the blues away.

Gingerbread Cookies

Abuela gave us a Ladybug subscription and this issue talks about Swedish Pepper Cookies (gingerbread). We thought we'd give it a try. It was a finger, knife, and spoon lickin' good time! Three days later my floors and table and kitchen are still sticky... ah, Christmas.

Painting!

Mikey thinks he should be allowed to roam free with paint and a brush. Mama is of a different opinion.

I've Always Dreamed of Cleaning up Play-dough Before Breakfast.

And now my dreams have come true!

We've Moved.

To Appalachia.

And mikey LIKES it!
