But, my husbands family celebrates Hanukkah and he was honestly never interested in celebrating, so I haven't pushed it in the past. Unfortunately, his parents are no longer with us and I can see how he misses them, the traditions they had; so in recent years I've tried to "make" a Hanukkah celebration.
So, on Friday I called him and told him not to pick up our usual-Friday-night-pizza (Mia was a bit thrown off - she loves routine :) Instead, Anthony helped me prepare a brisket and potato pancakes... to my GREAT surprise our Hanukkah dinner came out really good! Last year my pancakes were too...well, pureed - this year I shredded them to perfection! The brisket was on the small side...it was the last one left at St*p n Sh*p; and I changed around his mom's recipe to put it in the crock pot with the potatoes & carrots - yummy!
Yeah, it felt this good to do something for our daddy,who does SO much for us!
Miss Mia will ONLY wear dresses these days :)
Something I always dreamed of...a real girly-girl;
but it's hard to have a dress for every-single-day!
Mia loves this dress and I love how she calls it
"Hell* Kitty-Cat"...she's been saying the cutest things lately!
Her speech therapist really seems to enjoy her time with Mia.
She said to me the other day, "boy is she f-u-n-n-y" and I
told her...you have no idea what a day with my little miss is like...
F-U-N doesn't even begin to describe it :)
She is just amazing
and
I
love
her
to
pieces :)

Mia's speech is really booming now and I love how she can tell me how she's feeling. Now she is working on saying "I" instead of "Mia-My". I'm really going to miss hearing "Mia-my do a puzzle" or "Mia-my eat-snack-hungry"... just have to love the "eat-snack-hungry" ~ it really does say it all :) Another real cute phrase is "pee pee TOO bad" when she has to go to the bathroom!
