Essie Dressed as Mykala
Essie recites The Night Before Christmas based on her memory of our reading it to her.
Mykala took this stunning portrait of our daughter at Essie’s request — Mykala had been taking pictures of her Naturally Dyed Goods in this nice even light through the sheer curtain, and Ess stopped by and wanted in. We’re very lucky she did.
Mykala brought her Naturally Dyed Goods to the Christmas market in Saint Anthony Park. Mykala had been working on them for some time at that point, developing her color palate, making local connections, and this was one of her first opportunities to get her stuff in front of other people. She met some great people, sold some items, and Ess and I visited her. Then, Ess threw an enormous tantrum on the way home because she was so confused about why we would leave and Mykala didn’t come with us right away. After about 45 minutes, Ess finally calmed down. I think you can see the tantrum coming on in this picture. We all survived.
I love this picture.
Essie brought her hammer and screwdriver to help me put together her Ikea stool.
