The Eve Of Four

 We continue to add Christmas traditions, but this one I think will stick for good

 The pajamas were a hit...

 But we couldn't get them to hold still. Must've been all those cookies.

Traditions For The Ageless

Our Christmas Eve traditions went off without a hitch. Yuula loved her Santa pjs, as did Laura and I, who bought each other almost identical sleep pants. Great minds...

Yuula seemed smitten with her ballerina shoes to hang on the tree. She doesn't understand the tradition yet but I'm thinking it does not matter at this point. Sparkly pink things are exciting enough without deeper meaning.

A platter full of carefully chosen cookies (those we had ample to spare) a glass of milk, a carrot for the reindeer and a highly anticipated letter to the man himself. The stage was set and all was left to do was pass the hell out. 

For Yuula, anyhow...

Christmas Begins With The Krupps

Dave and Cheryl popped in on their way back down south after an exhausting holiday spree thru the midwest 

Yuula was very excited to get her Strawberry Shortcake pajamas and hasn't taken them off since 

Before the regalest of trees

Cold Rakes / Suddenly Humungous

I almost didn't notice all the leaves had finally fallen from the trees today, but now the ground is too frozen to rake them up. Am I the only one who cannot figure this out?

I actually had about 4 hours of peace and quiet today, while the girls went to the store and Laura's doctors appointment. Diagnosis: healthy as a horse. No dice in early leave. And Yuula got some new pajamas because she's suddenly humungous.

Winding Down With Waffles

It was a long weekend, and an even longer Sunday, and at 9pm we still hadn't eaten dinner. The closest immediate place was the Waffle House, which I think Laura was counting on, so waffles it was. 

Between Laura, Susie, Yuula and myself we ate 6 waffles and all other sorts of breakfast foods and I got to pick the tunes out on the jukebox since we were the only ones there.

And A Few Of Her Faces

 Tonight she danced to by my side while I made dinner, to Dungen

She has two outfits that she insists on wearing, and both are pajamas

She threw a party for her doll, but then told me she messed it up, but not to worry, because she is "clever"

 She starts dance class in the morning and I'm not sure that she's ever been this excited
