Ice skater

She did a great job! We went with the pod this morning. She skated for 2 hrs before I had to pull her away for lunch. 

 

Christmas

Didn’t take any photos except Bea finding the first round of presents under the tree. 

 

Good morning!

 

Watch me

No big deal, just reading an analog watch.

Christmas Tree

 Everyone’s first Christmas tree (except Craig) in the home. We went with a living tree that we can leave outside all spring/summer/fall and bring in every winter. This year we could only use the unbreakable ornaments as Bea is a wrecking ball.

Bea cleans up

 

She decided she was finished the with the bath so she cleaned up all her toys without being asked. 

Reading cuddle

 

I said I wanted blueberries

She was still hungry, pointed to the book and found the blueberry page. After pointing to the blueberry page and signing “more,” I got her blueberries. She was very happy and tried to feed the squirrel some.
