Mom, here are my ornaments/decorations up close

My mom wanted to see my ornaments up close so the lights on the tree didn't blind them out.

i wish they'd make Snickers by the loaf, not merely by the bar. All that unwrapping takes so much time - bar after bar after bar... (and at 6 a.m., who has that kind of energy?)

Why I love Dora the Explorer

Last night while we were putting up the Christmas tree, Abigail was playing with her figurines and making them have conversations.  Then she "locked" up her figurines up in some of the plastic storage pieces from the new Christmas tree.

All of a sudden I heard her yell, "HELP!  HELP!  AYUDAME!!!!!!!"

Just to clarify that she understood, I asked her what ayudame meant.  She said "Help".

Thank you, Dora.  You're a sweet girl.
