Mostly Carla...

Carla - "I don't love it..." (instead of saying "I don't like...")
Ben- wearing a girlie Christmas sleeper; you're still my little man!
Anna- sang brightly for her Christmas program, such a pretty young lady :)

Over the weekend, we went to visit Michael and Ashley in Philadelphia. We had a lovely visit and all three kiddos really enjoyed Lyla! or "Wy" or "Wyla" as Carla calls her.

Carla is always the baby in their pretend play and last week and since our visit her name as a baby is "Wyla".

Anna, on the way home: "Can I have some of that baby soup so I can have some chocolate?" -- homemade butternut squash soup Michael made...super yummy by the way!

Carla still says are we "going home" for actually going to anywhere "away from home"

Poor Carla was so tired of being in the car and very tired that when we were 15 minutes from Michael and Ashley's house, she wanted to go home! ...though maybe she meant M and A's based on the previous comment?! Couldn't get the details from her since the poor girl was going insane for that last part of the ride :~

Carla asked why the snow man doesn't have eyes -- they were covered with a new coat of snow.

Carla's technological advances: today she searched for the p7000 on google -- there are apparently several products, a Nikon camera, and a few other things! Secondly, she somehow started a children's show on the TV when I went to put Ben up for a nap while Dr Oz was paused. She proceeded to fall asleep with the remote in hand -- a pic for grossner.com SOMEDAY when I catch up with that.

Carla helped me make eggplant parm this afternoon -- and ate some raw! Strange, and she liked it! She likes EEEEVERYTHING! Sweet girl is a very healthy eater :)
