Sock Monkey Christmas

In this picture, Lillian is introducing her sock monkey to her little white stuffed doll (that looks just like her real-life-maltese-sister, Sophie)

Of course, there's that moment where she has to see if it's edible...

Then, playing with Kim's sock monkey ornament, giving me another one of those exuberant, winning smiles...

If we weren't in the middle of YET ANOTHER ICE STORM -- I'd drive up to Wisconsin to see Lillian. The house got so quiet when they left...
