Cozy Claus

I think one of the very fun things about having little girls is dressing them up. It's so sad when they stop letting you choose their clothes....or make it such a horrible drama that it's no longer worth trying to inflict your outfits on them.

Thank goodness Cozy is still in the fun phase. ...and it pays dividends to her sometimes too. After Grandma Cozette saw Coze in her Santa dress, she offered to make her a Mrs.Claus baby. Yea! It came in the mail with Annika's sweater...how many weeks ago?....and it's taken me this long to get a picture of it!


The very first thing Cozy did was take off the hat and shoes (because she knows from personal experience that babies hate hats and shoes).

She may not have wanted it on her baby, but Cozy really did like the hat, especially the little holly beads. I think she spent as much time pointing them out as she did naming the babies facial features. "Eye!" (poke! - good thing it's a fake baby.) "Nose!" (poke!) "Ears!" (poke!)


Oops - I told her to smile.


That is her real smile - the "pleased" one.


...and she cradled her baby all day long - just like a good mommy.
