lessons learned from mama mama

Since she has now left - Emilia would now like to share the top ten things she has learned during her visit with Mama Mama.

10. In order to get vomit out of your hair, lather, rinse, and repeat at least twice.
9. Having a stomach virus is no fun... make sure to share it with your grandma.
8. Patience is a much needed virtue in order to get a good pic with Santa at the mall (we had to go 3 times in total).
7. You can never have too many Christmas outfits...
6. Or hand made items (2 sweaters, 1 vest, a dress on the way, and a new quilt for her crib, and a kitty cat).
5. It's "Baa baa black sheep.. and the little girl lives down the lane" NOT "black black black sheep... and the little girl who lives down the drain!" :)
4. Fabulous curtains can be made for virtually any room in the house in an afternoon (after a quick trip to Mary Jo's).
3. Sopa de quinoa is delicioso (too bad my mama won't make it for me. Thank goodness Mama Mama left a gallon of it in the freezer!)
2. It's never too early for a Manhattan (it's after 5 somewhere!)
1. Nothing says "spoiled" like 3 months with Mama Mama.

We miss you terribly - Summer can't get here soon enough...
