Opa's Trains

Opa has his trains set up by the Christmas tree again.
















I like to be a tunnel for the trains to go through, wee!

Lilli's a Laugher

Although my sister might be at a silly looking stage, she's such a joy. Now like me, she likes to lay down and get tickled. Daddy says his daughter's laughter is his favorite thing to hear.

Don't you just want to get that tummy?

Snowmen

Mommy and I had fun making crispy snowmen the other night. Daddy volunteered to be the snowball eating monster.

Mommy didn't have as much fun cleaning up all the sugar balls off the floor.

1st Tree

This Christmas was Lil's first time seeing a Christmas Tree. She really likes it and she's been pretty good around it (we haven't found her climbing it yet). I helped mama decorate the tree this year, so I only put the plastic ones with no hooks on the bottom.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Lil's starting to walk. I love to squeeze her.

Back to the Dentist

I'm not really all smiles. I have to go back to the dentist again! Today two of my old fillings came out and that just topped off "mama's most horrible day". When it rains, it pours!

The Movie Theater

My friend Avery and I got to go see The Princess and the Frog on opening day. It was my first time at the movie theater- it was exciting! Plus I really enjoyed having just mommy/daughter time.

We loved the movie and mama said she hopes I grow up to be hard-working and beautiful like Tiana.

A Big Tree

We went to Fashion Island to see the big Tree and Santa, but he wasn't there yet (this was the week before Thanksgiving).

Lilli liked the tree and all the decorations.

I wasn't too up for pictures, but this is becoming an annual tradition.

But I was so excited I got to go on the Merry-Go-Round two times!

Thankful

Surprise, surprise I'm a picky 3 year old. This is my Thanksgiving meal. Mommy and Daddy were thankful for the prime rib. I'm thankful for my whole family.

Lilli loves Pops.

Coco made them laugh. It does tickle when he licks your toes.

Mini Mama. I had a fever on Thanksgiving, by Sunday mom was fed up with our month long coughs and so we spent the whole afternoon at urgent care to get our medicine. But we made the most of it.

10 Months...Cute, Clingy, Clapping and Climbing

Climbing.

Lilli's favorite thing to do. This week she climbed on top of the table.


Clapping.

Lilli's been excited about all the Christmas decorations.

Clingy.

Lilli loves to be held. Here's a picture of her and mommy on dedication day.















Cute.

Lilli loves Elmo, just like I used to.

Classic

I was so excited to see Santa at the Bass Pro Shop, I had been asking to go for days. This being Lilli's first time...she wasn't too sure about the strange white bearded man.

"Dog"

Lilli can say quite a few words right now, but her first official word was "dog" at 9 months. According to the records she spoke her first word before me, which means daddy is going to be getting another ear full.


Here's Coco and Lilli window shopping and looking at the "dogs".

Two Sisters in a Wagon

Mama took Lilli and me out of the house to get some fresh air. It was Lilli's first time as an active baby in the wagon. My job was to make sure she didn't climb out. It was fun.

Tissues

Uh Oh...Lilli got the tissues out!

What's one more?

Who could be mad at this cute baby? Actually, this week we did use a lot of tissues with mama. The 3rd baby we thought was coming went back to heaven. It will be ok mama, you've got us to keep you busy.

Halloween

This is as close to candy that Lilli got, but she liked the noisy wrappers.

I was excited with my first two treats that Lola brought me. I still think that "serving my customers" who came to my door was almost as fun as actually going trick or treating. I would bow to the other princesses.

I was a little scared at some houses, it's amazing how brave I can be for chocolate.

My whole family came over . Minnie Mouse was happy to see Cowgirl Shannie.

Pumpkins

Daddy carved me the best pumpkin ever- Tinkerbell.

It took a lot of time and patience, my daddy is wonderful!

Lilli was wondering why we were all sitting at the table, but not eating. See all the pumpkins we got this year.

I drew the face on my kitty and mommy helped carve it out. Meow!

Crappy Dinner

Lilli had a crappy dinner tonight; most of us enjoyed it, at least until this point.

Halloween Party

I was asking mama why she got to be Alice and I only got to be Cinderella.

Daddy dressed up as a gorilla and Lilli was his little banana. Lilli was like...GET ME OUT OF HERE!

SERIOUSLY!

Later at the party she was happy to be a free roaming banana.

EYEBALLS. My neighbor, Mariah, made these cool cupcakes.

The Great Park

I scored, hit the pumpkin right in the nose!

















Auntie Shannie had a great idea to take us to the park where they were having a fall festival, we had a great time.

















Lilli's favorite was meeting a new "dog".

Truck or Treat

My school had a Truck or Treat event, but I wasn't to sure about it. Mama has always warned me to stay away from the "bad man's" car.
Lill's favorite part was meeting a new "dog", which she can clearly say now.

Cinderella had fun bouncing in the jumper.

Daddy and I enjoyed Swedish fish.
