After spending time with the family in Xenia, we returned home to Cincinnati on Sunday to do a little unpacking & reorganizing and a lot of hanging out & playing with new toys. It was a really beautiful night with big "snowglobe" snow out our window and a few more times through Josie's Christmas CD.
Josie's new kitchen has already provided hours of entertainment, starting with the first meal she prepared which consisted of her new doll in the oven. Another great kitchen-inspired moment came yesterday when she put the horses from her new stable in the microwave and then announced, "Mmm-mmm, Can you smell those ponies cooking?" Here are some of the first "Chef Josie" moments from our first night back home after Christmas.
It cracks me up that she uses the oven mitt, although she opens the door with the gloved hand and then grabs the food with her bare one. Lol!
She promptly put the new doll blankets Tia made her to work on her new doll!
So, it's Wednesday and we're half way through what has mostly been a whole week off of work with just the three of us hanging out together. Some big projects are underway - including the completion of Josie's new "big girl room" and her reorganized "playroom" part of our loft. We made our annual trip to the zoo's "Festival of Lights" tonight, which was a really good time with pictures coming soon!
