Entries from December 2015 ↓

Ezri is designing a grown-up version of Baby Squeak, a character from her favorite fairy books – the Fairy Bell sisters. Perfect way to spend the Christmas morning wait for her brother to wake-up and the present opening to begin.

Ezri loves this unicorn who she has named Goldie Violet Silver.
Goldie Violet moves through the house with her and sleeps with her at night.
While Ezri now believes parents buy the presents “from Santa” I can assure her I did not buy Goldie Violet nor do I know who did.

We got a space helmet for Christmas.

The Scavenger Hunt at the library would’ve been so much easier if the picture of Emperor Palpatine on the coat rack had not been covered by a coat. Luckily, we appreciate a challenge.

Ezri made a good Wookiee in the photo booth.

Ezri wanted Leia hair for the film, but had to admit, “I think Leia has more hair than me.” Nice of her to fault her hair instead of her mom’s lack of hair taming skills.

Ezri and Ivan wore Star Wars T-shirts to the cinema. They each took a Star Wars doll to snuggle with during the film. Ivan took Kitwar the Wookiee and Ezri took C3PO.

Earlier in the week, Ivan went to the Naperville library in his Ewok costume for Star Wars themed storytime.

That Friday when you realize the only clean underwear are “day-of-the-week” undies and none of them are Friday. Ezri didn’t mind wearing Wednesday. She’s getting bigger and rolling with it better. It helped that she also got to wear her reindeer sweatshirt. She’s named the reindeer Susie. She left her coat only partially zipped despite the cold so people could see Susie.

And a photo of Ezri on the last night of Hanukkah that we’ll call “Muffins and Menorah.”
Maybe, I’ll catch a photo of her in the Susie the Reindeer sweatshirt later.

I got Susie the reindeer photos. One with a handmade mini quilt of Rudolph.

Ezri is loving this Hanukkah present from Grandma Liz.
She slept with Mandy at her side.

Ezri got Mandy up this morning and put her in daytime clothes that matched Ezri’s chosen outfit.
It is floral skirt day for the pair.
I bet tonight is Wonder Woman pj night again.

Ezri is big enough to light the candles herself (with supervision).
Ivan is twisting in the bulbs on the electric menorah himself.
