Christmas Cheer

Raise your hand if you just put something in your mouth again!

A Rain Protector or a Book?

time to get the tree out

saran wrap- Lily's work of art from last Christmas!

My friend Karen has a similar picture on her blog from her daughter decorating their tree!
I love the mind of a child :O)

"Have you seen any leaves?" -Mr. Giraffe

What a picture! Too cool!

I'm glad I have so many pictures of our smiley girl because this week she's been so fussy... it's nice to remember those dimples.

Lily turned 4! She got a "patient" who she adores from GG and Gampy.

The tradition in Lily's preschool is to bring a small gift for all of your classmates on your birthday. I'm not sure why I didn't take on out of the bag for the picture, but we got some little bath toys... winde-able fish and people.

Lily requested a "star" birthday cake. When she saw the one I made for her she said, "I meant I wanted the star cut out of the center (of a rectangular cake)!" Well! That would have been a bit easier! Ha ha. She redeemed herself at bedtime when she said her favorite part of her day was her cake :o).

We went swimming at a hotel in the morning, then met Lily's friend Abby at McD's for lunch.


Abby gave Lil the cutest t-shirt with their picture on it. Lily loves it!

Then after quiet time we made pizza, ate cake and then watched Charlotte's Web together as a family. What a fun day!

Hadassah trying out carrots. Good thing for a big helper sister!


Lil was helping me peel carrots so Cade asked if he could peel something. I gave him the cucumbers then looked over after a few minutes realizing he pretty much peeled the whole cucumber down to nothing! :O)

The Morning Do

The Afternoon Do

The Evening Do

Maybe we'll have to wait a few months to try this again :o)

Don't miss our next entry... with memories from Yeye and Nainai (Josh's mom and step dad) who are coming tomorrow! We can't wait!

Your photos are priceless! It sounds like you having a lot of fun times. I remember when I met Lilly at someone's house in La Crosse. She was so cute and still is. Hadassah and Cade are just as cute. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas celebrating the birth of our wonderful and precious gift!
