Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays to everyone. We did not send out cards this year...so I will wish you all the best right here!
Christmas this year was so quiet and different. We were snowed in and could not make it out for our big family dinner on Christmas Eve. So the three of us snuggled in and enjoyed a quiet Christmas. Frances really got into the presents this year. I love the look on her face when she opens a gift. It took all morning to open presents because she wanted to play with each one before moving on to the next. It was a lot of fun. Our living room looks like a ransacked toy store.

Thanks Aunt Patty for the dollhouse! In another year or so she might be able to access the third floor without a footstool. She loves it...and if you look at the closeup above you can see that Curious George is enjoying his mansion. We might purchase some dolls...but I don't think George will be moving out anytime soon as he is at the top of the toy pecking order. Hmm I wonder if 'The man with the yellow hat' comes in an 8-11inch doll?

Looking Pretty with her stolen flower in her hair. I had to move my flowering bulbs a little bit higher...

Very pleased with her fancy dress from Nana. She cried when she had to take it off but perked up when I suggested that her princess PJ's might be more comfortable. Thanks Nana! It is a beautiful dress.

Rocking her 'bear' boots and new pink hat and mittens also from Nana! These Mittens were worn to bed at least once.

Crazy excited to receive another package in the mail...so excited that she could not bother herself with clothes after her bath.

SNOW!

We have been snowed in and Frank and Frances have been playing out in the snow. She was very excited to show me a snow ball that she made and refused to leave it outside...so there it sits in the freezer!

It is a little hectic in this LeGallo household...we are picking up camp (haha) and moving closer to the big city. We have a lot of work to do between now and December first when Frank starts his new job. Our internet is in a box... I only have so much power left and do not know which blogs to read.
chaos...

Hope

Tonight's election has brought me to tears. I just do not have the talent to fully express what it means to me and what it will mean to my child- so I won't. I just wanted to express my joy.

Freazing in Lincoln City, Oregon

Last Monday we decided to grab a quick trip to the coast. It was supposed to be warm, low 80's! Um, no try high 50's. We got suckered and we froze! Frances decided to take a quick dip, but Frank scooped her out. She loved it; the beach, the wind, and would have loved to splash around in the water.

Look ma, no hands!

My blog is boring...but

There are a lot of amazing writers out in the blogosphere creating great blogs. This is not one of them. My blog is more like a little scrap book for the grandmas, nanas, and friends in which I say how adorable and smart my kid is. Sometimes I wish I had one of those other really smart blogs because I have a few things I would really like to say...hmm it would have to be anonymous.
Imagine my surprise to discover how popular I have become among the "tree sap in hair" Googling sect. Oh yeah! Go ahead and Google, see who pops up fourth. So in light of my blogger success I created a link above on the left. And while my blog may be boring I feel I have made an important contribution to society: Got Tree Sap? It's okay, because I have answers!
I promise cute unrelated pictures to follow.
