Here are some of the things that we did in December. One major accomplishment was finally being able to wear pony tails. Madeeha's hair just wasn't quite long enough all around in order to use anything other than clips. She doesn't wear her hair up around the house, so in all of those pics, she still looks like a shaggy dog. But, when we are out and about, she usually leaves her hair alone.

This is at the Orchard Town Center. Behind that tree was a small ice skating rink. This area was very pretty. All of the lamp posts and small trees were lit up with white and red lights.

We were eating at the Happy Sumo in the same Orchard mall. She loves chopsticks. She didn't eat anything, but she did get down, walk around and try to impress the waitresses.

We've been having lots of fun dressing Miss M up in hats, mittens and boots.

One of her favorite weekend morning activities is to sit with her daddy and eat graham crackers dipped in chai. She LOVES chai! Aren't they cute together? When she eats something good, she says "Mmmm, yummy. It's 'licious!"

This was her very first time wearing pony tails! I was soooo excited! She toddled around the house making her pony tails bounce.

This was Christmas Eve. We were invited to a friend's house for dinner, so we dressed her up. This outfit came from Pakistan and was given to her when Imran's parents were here.

Daddy took some pics before her hair was fixed, but her face is so sweet.

This was her actual birthday. We didn't do anything that day, but she sure did look cute. Her daddy went out shopping for the day after Christmas sales and came home with a head set. She thought they were neat.

Look at this cutie! I just love it when she's all dolled up!

And this is Madeeha just a few minutes later. Sunglasses off and hair down. She still twists hair to fall asleep. She twisted it so hard that she fell asleep with her finger stuck and her hair all tangled. Isn't that crazy? Her hand is just hanging there. I had to pry her finger out.

I was trying so hard to get her hair right, but it just wasn't working. We finally got it right, but I had to take a picture first.

She stayed outside with her daddy and got on the slide. She was having a good time and taking lots of pictures for us.

Here's the back yard on a nice day.

Just another picture of her pony tails. She's standing right in front of the tv watching cartoons. She's always getting in trouble for putting her face right up to the screen. It must be something genetic that she inherited from Mimi.

The weather was decent so we went to the Orchard play area. It was packed because the weather was so nice. She had a great time.

She's concentrating because she doesn't want to fall off of the beam.

Here's a random picture of Imran. He tries not to shave while he's on vacation.
