I am picking two pictures today, though they are not in order of when I took them. Today we went forth with Christmas money to Davenport to spend it. Aria spent hers at Gamestop and bought a Dora cooking game for her Nintendo DS. We also bought some extra styluses and a case for her DS and games. Afterwards we went to Toys R Us where much fun was had and she bought a giraffe to add to her extensive collection of giraffes. We now officially have a herd.

This pic is from when we went bowling:

Aria's style was she would throw the ball. It would make a horrible clunk down the lane and then roll painfully slowly onward until it would knock down anywhere from 1 to 4 balls. Oddly enough this strategy only put her 4 points behind Mama. This is the point where she threw the ball and it got stuck between the bumper rail and the gutter.

This picture was taken in Starbucks at Barnes and Noble. Rod went in to get himself a new controller for the Xbox360. We stayed in B&N to have a caramel frappachino, a coconut velvet cupcake, and a water. Aria wanted them to write her name on her water like they did my name on mine. She also said that the bag held grass for her giraffe to eat.
