Cookies



Don't you wish you could discover cookies again for the first time? And that someone was there to take your photo?

Sneak peek...


Does anyone else see a vision of sugar plums?

Snow day!





It's one of those days when I think, "I don't want to go to work today!" So I didn't...because it's Monday! However, tonight was the big cookie swap, which is now canceled. Possibly postponed. I don't know...if anyone has 6 dozen cookies they'd like to swap, let me know.

Hattie and I braved the cold to go to, of all places, Wal-Mart. Truly pathetic, but our Christmas cards were ready, and I need to get those in the mail! So I layered her with a onesie, socks, oversize Santa's Helper pajamas, a hat, and two blankets. I don't think Hattie even noticed she left the house. She slept during the entire excursion.

So everyone is snuggly and happy at home. I have cocoa and 40 Christmas cards to address. Hattie has her deflated Elmo balloon (she is undeterred- still loves him). Etienne has obviously figured out that when no humans are home, he's going to sleep on the sofa (but always on a blanket). Here's my retro rocker chair, covered in snow. And the cookies....

Hattie and the fabulous Elmo balloon

It's OK; it's a Sesame Street character. Mommy approves. Most importantly, Hattie loves this balloon. She literally freaks out, kicks her legs, flails and screeches at this thing. Yay for cheap fun!

Next up, eating!



Crazy Hattie, sporting two sweet little baby teeth, is wild about oatmeal. Here's some proof.

Seven months old, and unstoppable!!!


The Incomparable Hattie Jane and her Magical Walker!

Turkey? Check. Cranberries? Yup.


Almost 7-month-old Hattie rockin' out in her Blondie onesie? Got it.
What are YOU thankful for this year?
