The Girls' Holiday Favorites

ADDIE: Hey guys, I need to tell you something. How was everybody's Christmas? How was your New Year's too? And guys, I need to tell you something. Make this a secret. I always tried to see the sleigh with the reindeers, but I really wanted to see Rudolph.  I did not see the raindeers, but Santa came to our house!

And this is what I got for Christmas: a remote control car, Dora Gymnastics doll, walkie-talkies and a shovel! And there's a block thing that I put snow in and I put it on the ground and it makes snow blocks. I got a green one and Maeve got a red one. There are snowflakes on them. I built a snowman at gramma's house. His name is Flash. We also did it at Nana's and we made a snowman there but we didn't finish the eyes or the nose or the arms and we didn't even name it yet.

My favorite food that I ate was spaghetti. At Gramma and Papa's for Christmas. Or, wait, the pancakes were. Maybe all of it? I think? All of it was my favorite food?

MAEVE: When we were at the party, my favorite thing at Nana's? It was like a brown cake with things all around it.

DADDY: Was it chocolaty?

M: Yeah, and it had a lot of things around it.  Like on the sides.

D: You know who made that? My cousin Anna. That cake was really yummy.

A: I know her. Does she have curly hair?

D: Um, not really. She babysat you once.

A: Oh! I saw her at the Roycroft.

D: No, I don't think we saw her there. But her daddy is my uncle Dan.

A: The monkey guy? Yeah I know him. [Quietly, to herself.] That was yummy cake.

M: I got play-doh for Christmas! Here's one thing that I made out of play-doh! This is Maeve's bird.

And this is the bird that Addie made.

Daddy, take a picture with your phone and put them on the blog so everyone and Katie can see them.  And say this: Do you like them, everyone?
