Big Girl Bed!

Maddy got a big girl bed this week! This bed was mine in grade school and again in high school... and my mom's in high school. It was made in 1858 as a wedding gift for my great-great-great grandparents and has been in our family ever since! Maddy is the 7th generation to use it! I was really excited to get it put up in her room.
She was also really excited when she found it! I tried to catch her with her arms up saying, "Me big!" But, I wasn't quick enough! :-) She has done so great - three nights running and she hasn't been out of bed yet! (Knock on wood!)

Santa!

We made our annual trip to Worthington Square mall to see Santa, get a cookie at Cheryl's and eat at First Watch! Yummy!
The girls did great... Izzy clammed up when Santa asked her what she wanted, but with a little coaxing from Mommy, was able to blurt out "Barbies." Maddy surprised us all by saying "Bubble" which was a bit confusing. She has a fish named Bubble... when we got home, she pointed to the fish and said "Bubble - Santa," so we figures out that she wants something to do with fish.
Don't worry - Santa went to Target and found a fishing game for her age group... should do the trick! :-)
Merry Christmas!
