Getting ready for T-Day

Julia is celebrating the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday by playing a song with a somewhat un-PC title on the piano over and over again.  Here she is, bringing in the feast-day spirit with a rendition of the song "Indians":



You can tell Madeleine is feeling the Thanksgiving excitement as she hop-dances in the background.

To further get in the mood for Thanksgiving, Julia released another new novel today, entitled "Thanskgiving."  Follow along with Emme and her family to see what Thanksgiving adventures are in store for them:

Hi, I'm Emme.

When it's Thanksgiving we have trkey.
(JULIA: [beaming with pride] Mama, does this look JUST LIKE a dead turkey?!?)

And Pie To.
(JULIA: Mama?  Does this not really look like pie at all?
ME: Uh, no, it doesn't really look like pie.
JULIA: That's because I don't really KNOW how to draw pie.  [sighing in defeat] This is the best I could do.)

Its Thanksgiving Day Yay Yay Yay. 


Madeleine does not have a turkey on her mind, but rather another bird.  After watching "Barbie: Swan Lake" this afternoon, Madeleine has adopted the persona of the movie's main character, Odette, as she gallumped her leaden feet around the living room, dressed in a ballet dress and slippers.  Here, on video, she performs a few fancy moves for me:



Graceful as can be.
