Amelia got lots of books for Christmas. My parents gave her the Percy Jackson series and she burned through the entire series over Christmas break and is almost done with the rest of the books. She is really into Greek mythology now. I wish I had as much leisure time for reading as she does.
The girls love their new hair accessories from Grandma and Grandpa Black.
Simon quickly developed a love/hate relationship with Elsa's dog. He loves to watch it flip and constantly brings me the dog and wants me to turn it on. But then he's sort of terrified of it. I watched the dog "chase" Simon until he had backed himself under the desk. I couldn't stop laughing. And quickly found the camera. (Video to come.) His many facial expressions say it all.
