Amelie

Nothing really funny or interesting happened today, but I want to tell you about my little Amelie because she's cute and I love her. And because today I decided to make her my Top Cougar of December which is an award given to kids who are outstanding students.

I knew I loved Amelie right away because she shares a name with one of my all-time favorite movies. She is a blonde-haired, blue-eyed, precious little Swedish angel. Even though she's not a native English speaker, she's my best writer and one of my top readers. She is also the only girl who plays soccer with all of the boys everyday. Overall, she's a way cooler person than I could ever hope to be.

This week, my love for Amelie grew because of two awesome things: 

1. All she wants for Christmas is a nutcracker. A girl nutcracker with a crown. That's it, nothing else.

2. She made me this: 

It's a lion/monster made out of fuzz balls, delivered to me wrapped in a piece of felt.
