Christmas Cookies

I was supposed to do some Christmas cookie baking with a friend and her son, but they had to cancel so i decided to go ahead and try making some with L. She did better than I expected. She loved putting on the sprinkles and of course kept wanting to eat the dough while preparing them. I hope this will be a tradition we do every year.

Early Christmas

We had Tom's parents over for early Christmas. L. loves her remote control car the best! She now understand and enjoys opening presents!

Holiday Fun

We are enjoying the holidays with L. She loves the Christmas tree and lights and moving reindeer in people's yards. She recently figured out how to flip over her diaper stacker and had a great time emptying it into her bed. My friend Jenny was so kind to give L some pretty clothes for Christmas (dress and outfit and kitty cat outfit). We had a fun time at our neighborhood Christmas party. L. loved playing with the older children and cried when they had to leave.

New Ride

L. is going to love her new car she got for her birthday from my parents. Tom put it together today and we took her on a stroll in the neighborhood.

Helen, GA

We enjoyed a wkd to ourselves (eating out, dancing and shopping) while my inlaws kept L. This is the anniversary of when Tom and I met 6 years ago. We took a trip to Helen, GA (just north of us) to enjoy the beautiful weather and leaves.

Professional Pictures

I took L for some professional pictures today in the beautiful gown that my sister in law Tammy let me borrow. L. was not very happy having to get pictures made. (hence no smiles in these snap shots i took) Hopefully next year will be better. I was pleased with the pictures though and plan to use them for Christmas cards.

Kitty Cat

We celebrated Halloween by going to my friend's neighborhood party. L seemed to enjoy the festivities there, especially getting suckers!

Second Birthday

We enjoyed a visit from Mom this weekend. We had L's birthday party at a park today at 10am...44 degrees. We enjoyed having a few friends and family there. L really seemed to enjoy the party and playing at the park.

More Birthday

Even More Birthday Pictures

Pumpkins Everywhere

We stopped at another pumpkin patch to take some pictures in this beautiful weather.

Our Pumpkin

We decided to carve our pumpkin this year knowing L would enjoy it. Tom was meticulous (as an engineer) in carving his side of the pumpkin with the AU. I didn't take so much time to carve my side with the cat face (since L likes cats). I'd forgotten though how time consuming and difficult it can be to carve a pumpkin.

October Fun

It seems there are many festivals to attend in October. We enjoyed yet another one this weekend where there were hayrides, pumpkins, blacksmith demo, etc. They had several antique tractors there for viewing. (this park was once a farm).
