(december 26th morning)
While Grant was over with his girls across town, Penelope (pronounced Peen-alope) originated in the minds of Matt and Kyria, who at first merely meant to build a snowperson. Kyria shoveled a pile on the porch as the base while Matt rolled out the torso. Everyone patted snow on to some extent, but it was Kyria who christened her and decided to make her a real girl, and Matt who fine-tuned her at the finish. She lives on as of this writing, although her hair is starting to fall out.
