Life In The Big Apple

Thanksgiving morning

Stef's: POV
I was sound asleep till l felt someone licking my face
When l open up my eyes Sofia was standing on top of my chest. What is it girl as l rubbed her head, Sofia was affectionate dog who craved a lot of attention. I believed Ariana and Frankie spoiled her, that's why she always goes to them. Francesca loves dressing Sofia up in the cutest outfits, she makes. Lena and I decided to buy Frankie a sewing machine for Christmas this year
She's doing well in school and keeping her grades up
Something Amanda said the other day when she came into town. Has me wondering about Callie, has my baby sister. Got herself into some trouble, I have no way of contacting her because I have her number, l talked to my mother the other day to see how she was doing. Mom sounded more like old self again, maybe she started taking her medication again. It's hard to tell, cause l'm not around mom to see what she does on a every day basis,
Lena must downstairs cooking up a storm. Dana was here yesterday helping her cook, Lena told me she asked her mom about coming into the bakery to work with her
I know Lena prefers to work by herself. When it comes to baking, l just didn't her to get super stressed out by doing it on her own. We're still planning our wedding, her and the girls have an appointment with the seamstress on Saturday, for their dress fitting. I have no idea what
I'm going to wear, l still have plenty of time to decide
Our colors are lilac and white. I've already ordered the wedding bands, our honeymoon is paid for
We're going on a two week carnival cruise. I can't wait to see the look on her face, l don't hear any noise in the house. I get up from the bed. Sofia jumps off
I head straight to the bathroom and handle my business
Once l'm finish with brushing my teeth, l come out the E-suite. I see Frankie coming up the stairs, morning momma l made breakfast with mommy Francesca replied
Ok love what did you and mommy make. Stef says
Let's see we made french toast with strawberries on top
Turkey sausage, eggs, cinnamon rolls and fruit salad
Francesca. I guess l better hurry up before it's all gone
Stef chuckles and follows Frankie downstairs to the kitchen, Lena had breakfast laid out on the table,
Good morning baby. Lena said to me, well your chef assistant, inform me you guys were down here cooking up a storm. As Stef sat down in the chair, she reached over and poured herself some coffee in a mug. Stef realized someone was missing from the table, where's baby girl at
Stef asks. Ariana went to the parade with my dad
Lena replied. It would have been nice if we all could have ate together, Stef States. There will be plenty of time for that later, we have guests coming to dinner. And my parents. So l need to get this house strengthen up
After we eat, l told everyone to come over around 3:00 this afternoon Lena tells me. Frankie was to busy enjoying her meal to hear what's her mom's were talking about
Mommy are we still going shopping tomorrow for a tree
Francesca asks. Yes baby thanks for reminding me
Gram is taking me to see the nutcracker in two weeks
It's going to be at the theater downtown Manhattan
Frankie was excited. Lena looked over at Stef for her input, l'm sure you're have a wonderful time babe
Stef responds. Did you write down your Christmas list
Of everything that you wanted this year, Lena questions Francesca. I'm getting a little to old for toys, so basically I just want clothes, electronics and games Frankie answers
Neither of her mother's comment on Francesca's response
Lena understands Frankie's growing up into a remarkable young lady. Coming into her own person, Francesca isn't like your typical eight year old. She's very mature
Ariana on the other hand loves playing with dolls and so on. She has a wild imagination, both girls have their own personalities. Frankie is a mixture of Lena and Stef
Ariana is more like Stef. Stubborn and bossy when she wants to be,
