Blue Christmas

We're officially ready for Christmas now.

With the big day just a couple of weeks away, Abby and I traded in our trademark blue nails for something a little more festive.

After I carefully filed and painted her teeny tiny toenails in alternating red and green, Abby admired my work, and suggested one minor modification.

"Are these my Christmasy toes?" she asked, in all seriousness.

"They sure are, sweetie," I replied, with equal sobriety.

She paused, examined her toes once more, then added, "But where are the sparkles, Mommy?"

I quickly dug through my bag of polish until I found the glittery bottle, and promptly fixed her toes and mine.

Next time, I won't forget the sparkles.
