Cookies and Santa!

Wow, what a busy day we had! First we went to see Santa at the mall. Natalie was shell shocked at first, but we coaxed a semi-smile out of her. I think she was genuinely just star struck. The Santa was really nice and kept calling her beautiful.

Then, after our nap (yes, Mommy, daddy, Natalie and Pumba all took a nap), Natalie made cookies with mommy and decorated them. She loved eating them. It took some convincing to get her to STOP eating them!

Sick Girl

Our poor girl. We've flirted with keeping you home from school the last 3 days, as you've been waking up miserable. Today you told us you couldn't open your eyes. You eventually did, so I don't know if it was light sensitivity or what, but we decided to keep you home today. Mommy has a Dr appointment set up for you this morning too. I hope we figure you out. I miss my happy Natalie! I love that you can smile even when you don't feel well though... I love you!

Mama Mia! Chef Natalie Makes A Pizza!

Nickie had a coupon for a free "mini Murph" pizza kit from Papa Murphy's (with the purchase of a family sized pizza). We decided to take advantage of the deal, and we're glad we did! Natalie absolutely loved the process of making her own dinner. She doesn't even normally like pizza all that much, but after her pizza came out of the oven, she ate the entire thing!
