AVATAR

The kids and I are obviously huge Barca fans. Each of us has adopted a player as our own. By that I mean we each identify with a particular player on the team. Nicholas is Xavi. Cate is Messi. I am Iniesta. After each match, I give the kids a post-game update and let them know how we each did. It is kind of cute.

Therefore, when I saw action figures of these three players for sale on a soccer site, I had to get them. The figures arrived a few days after Christmas. Santa and the elves were very busy, so Santa shipped them rather than delivering them. Wink. Wink. However, we were grateful to receive them finally, and neither the kids nor I minded the delay.

Introducing avatars for Cate, Nicholas, and me!
