Some photos of this no-longer-little girl from this December. Some cooking - she made a Gingerbread Man and was very concerned about making sure he didn't hop out of the oven and run away, plus some really great Christmas cookies this year. Another in the "Mulan Costume" she asked Santa for this year. And another in her self-selected outfit for house cleaning. What a charmer.
She was really taken by the carol "Silent Night" this year. We got a great book about the history of the carol at the church library, and she can now tell you that it was written by Father Joseph Mohr and Franz Gruber. Her pitch is still scattershot, but she sings with much emotion and fervor.
