Saturday Sophie and I went to the Holiday Market with Tari, Whitney and Lauren. The girls were dressed quite differently compared to our last adventure out. Sophie and I felt a little bit like celebrities walking around the market with Tari and her twins. People kindly stepped to the side to let our strollers through and so many people commented on the babies, many thinking they were triplets. Although I ended up carrying Sophie most of the time (really wish she liked her sling; should have brought the Baby Bjorn) the girls were happy most of the time. I just hope Sophie didn’t pay too close attention when I bought one of her Christmas presents from The Spotted Goose’s booth!

![The kiddos at First Unitarian Church are collecting books for students at South Avondale School to help fill the free bookstore our church sets up at the school regularly. If you have gently used or new books you'd like to donate, please let me know and I’ll come by and pick them up! We mostly need Pre-K/K (board books, concept books [ABCs, shapes], not lots of large hardcover picture books), early readers, early chapter books and blank journals. Because of the importance of children seeing mirrors of themselves in these books, diversity is key.
