family day

Today was another family-filled day in Livermore. We dropped Rosie off at Tio and Tia's house on the way to the gym. When we came back, Rosie was in her cousin M's arms making marshmallows and about to bake tasty cookies. She was having so much fun she didn't want to leave! So we left her for the rest of the afternoon so we could take care of some last minute holiday shopping.

Later this evening we met up for dinner with Auntie and cousin A. Often when we reach our destination in the car, Rosie will eagerly remind us she can't get out by saying, "stuck!" but tonight she surprised us with some impressive pronoun usage: "I'm stuck!" And since it was immediately followed by us laughing, she milked the situation and repeated herself.

For all the laughs and sweetness going on today, there was a serious shortage of photos (boo) so here's a random mixture:

Auntie and Uncle G's Christmas tree: "WOW!"

Rosie's first Zachary's pizza. Two cheesy and saucy thumbs up:

Dolls at the library. This one is Uncle M:

I was going through photos and found these from the other day when we were playing Farmer's Market. Rosie was picking up the red pepper-corn-looking plant and singing "O Christmas Tree":
