another country heard from

Mimi's folks are in the hizouse. Not much to say about it other than they look great, they love Yuki, and she appears to love them right back. Here are some photos for your enjoyment.

Yuki and the newest member of her fan club, Hiro.

Yuki strikes a pose with her grandmother, Janet.

And because we like you, here's some bonus cuteness.

Okay, that was probably more because we are kind of obnoxious with the pictures of our kid, but we do like you. Promise.

This concern is also spreading to the area of the Tooth Fairy and the Switch Witch. But, Yuki still wants to believe in the magic.  So much so that while she expressed concern, she has yet to come out and ask us. So I suggested we watch Miracle on 34th Street which we did during Thanksgiving weekend and she was starry eyed. We wanted to help restore her faith in Christmas at least for one more year.  Enter: American Girl Doll Now, here is where the magic collides with reality. Yuki first  encountered  American Girl Doll in kindergarten when a few of her friends talked about theirs. When she first mentioned it I had a physical reaction to almost vomit. It was one of those "Disney Princess," "Barbie," and other things that the girls are supposed to get interested in that I dreaded. I don't have any problems with the...
