Weekend edition

• AK was wonderful for Brent and Cindy last night. She didn't even get upset when I left her to go to my Christmas party! She told me that she and Molly watched a "christmas video" before they went to bed.
• Karen gave me a beautiful scarf from Egypt yesterday. AK loved it - she wrapped it around her like a sari and had to go see in the mirror how beautiful she looked!
• AK likes to ask "mommy, are you happy?". How can you not look at that sweet face and be happy? It's been a great weekend together.
• AK is becoming fanatical about "washing hands". I'm on the verge of wondering if she has a problem!
• We had Mike and Julie over for supper tonight and AK entertained us with her versions of Christmas carols. She had a really great time visiting with them tonight. She ate up her supper of sausage, perogies and vegetables! She nearly cleaned her plate, and really enjoyed her treats after supper.
  
• AK sang her songs to Grandma Z on the phone today too.
  
• AK keeps checking out the gifts under the tree. It is tough for her to see them and not be able to open them all!
• We went swimming again today... brrr... the water hasn't quite warmed up to pre-cold front temps yet!
• My Christmas party was great fun :) I started waking up around 630am, thinking "man, I am not looking forward to getting up with AK this morning", then realized I didn't have to get up with AK, then started to miss her :P I fell back asleep til 830am, which was heavenly. Still a bit tired but nothing a good night's sleep won't fix.
  
• AK helped me decorate some Christmas cards today. See the artist hard at work below!!! xo
