Welcome Molly!!!

A great friend of mine from high school and her husband welcomed their first child on Friday afternoon after a veeeeerrrrrry long 48-hour labor!! I went to meet Molly today and was so amazed, once again, at what a miracle all of our children are!!

Here is the beautiful new family!!!!!!!!!

I was so lucky that she stayed awake for my visit :)
almost....  :)
Congratulations! Can't wait for playdates and more playdates to come!

Ella's party at Build-a-Bear

This past weekend was Ella's party at Build-a-Bear workshop! I was the youngest member of the party and..needless to say..it was very hard to keep me focused on the activities at hand. We all got bears to pick out, stuff, put hearts in, bathe, and dress! Here are some pictures from the party...

Henry and Madeleine are getting soooo big..
Here I am distracting Ella.....



After we finished with the bears, the party moved out to the food court for cake and ice cream. I started misbehaving at this point and unfortunately..had to make an early exit. Well it was fun while it lasted!!!!

Decorating the playroom door

Mommy promised that we would get the Christmas decorations out next weekend but as a little treat, we decided to decorate the playroom doors with some gel santas, reindeer, and christmas trees. Well..this was about all I needed to do for the entire day! In fact, you will see what happened when we were finished..........

NOOOOOOO! I want to play with these all day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gateway Thanksgiving Feast!

We've heard about it for weeks and tonight was the annual Gateway Montessori Thanksgiving Feast! Each family signs up to bring a dish (mommy made an awesome sausage stuffing thanks to grammama and grampie), they have a puppet show, and an incredible feast!!

I had so much fun enjoying my first traditional Thanksgiving meal with all my friends from school! What a great trial run for next week's festivities!! Not too many pictures so these will have to do..

Turkey!!!!!!

Bath Time!

Its been a while since I've had any bathtime pictures! This is pretty much one of my favorite activities now..taking a bath. I love to test Mommy and Daddy and see if they will allow me to stand up in the tub..it never works though!

The longer my hair gets, the funnier the mohawk pics get too!!!

PJ time!!

First snowfall..

Well we all knew it was coming and sure enough..when I woke up this morning, a fluffy layer of white snow greeted me! It sure got cold over the weekend (which isn't helping my cough!) but fortunately..I have a very cute winter coat!!

Mary's 1st birthday party

Last weekend (I know...I'm very behind)...was Mary's birthday party! I had so much fun hanging out with all the kids! Good times...
