The bitty twins have been christened Tweetsie ("It is the most perfect name, you know.") & Rose. No one is too surprised by the choices. Margaret Rose just adores Rose and feels a bit sorry for Tweetsie as he is not loved quite as much. Mary Clare will play with him some but reminds us when we mention that his feelings might be hurt that he is not real, duh.
Mary Clare makes her own fun with yet another stocking stuffer- this one is acutally Margaret's. Guess how I can tell.
Margaret Rose is preparing Rose's breakfast. Rose likes cereal just like MR. MR does have a few doubts about the twins' shoes however. She found paper down in a pair and told Lee that she didn't think the elves made them but that they were bought at a store instead. Lee's a quick thinker and reminded her of the Elves and the Shoemaker story and so they decided that Santa's elves got the shoes from the shoemaker elves. Magic still intact!

Here we are on our way to the marionette theatre's production of The Wizard of Oz. It was the girls' favorite book this summer and Lee ended up reading it several times. They especially enjoy Robert Sabuda's popup version. The show was adapted from the Baum book and so the girls had a distinct advantage in following the plotline. They spoke up several times and were able to inform those around us that the wizard was just a "humbug", that those funny looking puppets popping out of the floor were hammerheads and that Quadling country is where Glinda lives. We were very proud of our little bookworms. They have never seen the movie as right now the blue tarantula story in Max & Ruby scares them. I don't think they are quite ready for that nasty old witch.
Someone needs to have a word with Santa about leaving fragile objects like those punch-balloons. Mary Clare's popped and we thought the tears would never end. Luckily Baba remembered the stash of chocolate covered cherries and cheered his girl right up.
The Wonders and the twins enjoy a bedtime story. We wanted photographic evidence that Mary Clare actually plays with Tweetsie who is seen here in precious Panda pajamas.
