Granny went to pick up Grace after school today -- it was a fun time watching Grace through the window and then chatting on the way to the car.
Later in the day, we went to Legal Seafoods for dinner.
Suki was completely terrified of these lobsters, thinking they were going to chase her like the Wind Up Lobster on Max & Ruby.
Suki's idea of "enough" salt on her fries.
Grace mans the salt grinder.
Eying the swordfish across the way..
Kate was feeling sleepy and very cuddly this morning.
Reading with Granny down in the Christmas Room. We set it up early as a surprise for Granny and PaPa, who are celebrating an early Christmas in addition to Suki's birthday this weekend.
Suki (and Grace and Kate!) absolutely loved these beautiful books from Aunt Tina, Uncle Steve, Clara and Elena. We read them over and over.
Suki also received this gift from Grandpa and Mary -- it's a Candy Land Castle game and it's one that all three girls can play together (sometimes more peacefully than others). They also really liked the Pet Show book!
A kiss for Granny.
More cuddles after nap time.
So proud of her tall towers.
Back to the Christmas Room for some gift opening.
Grace got a wee bit overwhelmed at the awesomeness, so was sent away to collect her thoughts. I loved catching this glimpse of her rejoining the group, hanging out by the door for a few moments.
Kicking while I vacuumed. What odd little chickens...
Outside Suki's preschool before a special family day.
Miss Liz reads a story after we were all introduced.
Some playtime.
Kate was so pleased with this turn of events -- she finally got to paint with glue and all of the toys in the classroom.
So excited to see Granny and PaPa arrive!
Hugs and kisses for Granny!
And some for PaPa!
And of course some for Dad!
And then for me, even as we nearly toppled under all of the affection.
What a special day.
These girls will laugh so hard at videos of themselves being silly.
This was a whirlwind morning of shopping at the party store, the craft store and the grocery store.
One hilarious pick up after kindergarten.
