I'm loving all the Christmas decorations everywhere, as every time she sees one, Mabes shouts out "Santuck!" (Santa) or "Snowpan!" (snowman). I'll be very sad once she gets the correct pronunciation. It was a sad day when she no longer called kangaroos "chockabas," and she rarely says "dockadoo" (cock-a-doodle doo) anymore. However, instead of randomly singing "dockadoo" as she runs around, she's replaced that with "dop-a-dee, dop-a-dee!" Which is equally amusing.

We had a nice Thanksgiving, the highlight of which was getting to ride a horse. When we let her ride a pony last month, she cried the whole time. I don't know if it was because she was riding with Brie, or if maybe the smallishness of the pony freaked her out. But she LOVED riding this horse.

Here she is, riding into the sunset:
