Happy Thanksgiving...

Our first taste of pumpkin pie; and we loved it tremendously.  Zoë is my sweets girl; she savors her M&M's when Daddy gives them to her and she loves a good lollipop every now and then, so it was no surprise to us that she loved the pie and the whipped cream was an added bonus.  Poppi, on the other hand, is not as interested in sweets; she can take them or leave them.  She tried it then went on her merry way.

We used the turkeys they made at our place settings.  We had a very quiet day and it was nice to have Daddy home because Zoë loves "being with my family."

Princess Party...

We were invited to one of the girls' friends house for a Princess Birthday Party.  It was so sweet to watch all of the girls look at Cinderella with stars in their eyes.  She sang for them and then played games with them; at the end she "autographed" some of her pictures, and Poppi put it to her chest and said "I love my peecsure."

(There are no pictures of Poppi because she was behind the scenes most of time as she was once again "skeered" and was content to watch Zoë as she made a new friend in Cinderella.  However, we did have a small breakthrough when C was about to leave, Poppi gave her a hug!  And, yes, of course, my camera was nowhere to be found!

My Sweet Girl...

is growing up...

Zoë had just finished watching an episode of her favorite "tb show," Max & Ruby, where Max was in bed going to sleep.  She started pretending she was going to bed and said "Nighty-night, Poppi, love you;  nighty-night, Mommy, love you."  She sounded so grown up, my heart skipped a beat.
