Poppy and I just got home from another wonderful week at Gamp and Grams. Kegan and Danie came up for the weekend to celebrate our beloved tradition of “fake” Christmas. Poppy got the Pony she so badly wanted. She hugged him and kissed him and told him she loved him. I know most parents cringe at the thought of gifts this size but honestly watching her as she saw him was like watching old friends being reunited after far too long. She loves that thing and so Poppy now shares her room with a Pony. Thank you Gampy and Gramy you made Poppy one happy little girl. Merry Fake Christmas!

Mayfair is a Winters family tradition. My husband has been going since he was a little boy, so you can imagine how excited he was to be able to share Mayfair with Poppy this year. My heart melted watching that proud papa strut around like a king showing his little princess (in her awesome Royal Tenenbaums-esque mini faux fur coat) all that would be hers.

It was a great day – cheeseburgers were eaten, beers were consumed and Poppy had her first kiss! Boy Mr. Max sure moves fast.
