I decided to make a stocking for Ada this year, partly to try out my lovely new sewing machine, which was a birthday present.
Since I'm a procrastinator, I only started this week. Fortunately, it turned out to be not too hard. Will add her name at some point - possibly even in time for this Christmas!
On our way to Devon to celebrate Mark's mum's birthday with a night in Clovelly. Ada seems to have inherited the need to cover her face to sleep from both Mark and me. She did this all herself.
I finally discovered how to make guacamole so Ada likes it (for now). A lot of lime juice, some chopped green onion, nothing else but avocado. Which isn't really guacamole, but if she eats it, I'm happy.
This is what Ada decided to do while Skyping with Mimi and Pa.
She's sitting on her blue chair on the couch to give her more height.
Then she wanted to reenact it, using her puppies as stunt doubles.

Ada helping with her first jack-o-lantern. She helped with some of the goo but mostly she ran around it. She was not a fan of it lit with the candle, but seems to like it generally.
Ada picked out her own pajamas tonight and she went straight for the hand-me-down ones from cousin Danielle. She's never worn this style before (or worn bottoms to bed since she's always in her sleeping bag) but she was insistent about putting them on. She immediately ran down the hall to look at herself in the mirror and when I suggested we take some photographs she readily obliged!
Thank you, Smiths!
(This was obviously pre bedtime, so the lights were low - the pictures are a bit grainy as a result. I included a couple blurry action shots to show what a ham she is).
