Christmas Fun!

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

It's amazing what a couple snow days allow me to get done! How about three posts, Moll? :) Here are some pics getting our Christmas tree a few weeks ago, visiting Santa at Emily's school breakfast, and making cookies with Grandma.

Growing up, one of our holiday traditions was making cutouts with my grandma's recipe. I never knew my grandma (I was 4 months old when she died) but I feel like I know so much about her from all that my mom shares with me. Thom and I always snuck some dough as we were making the cookies (nothing like a little raw cookie dough). After Thom passed away, I joked with Mom that I had to eat twice as much to meet the annual quota :). Emily and Erin have found the joy in sneaking a little dough so I guess I don't have to eat as much now! We had a wonderful time making cookies this year. Erin really participated this year so it was lots of fun for both girls.

Stay warm everyone!

Happy 3rd Birthday to My Baby Girl!

Erin turned 3 on December 9. It hardly seems possible. She seems so much older now that she is speaking more clearly. It's amazing how much she still seemed like a "baby" because of her speech delay. We are so thankful for the Early Intervention program and the opportunity to provide her with services. Erin is such a delightful little girl (even when she's being impish...which is frequently :)). Happy Birthday Sweet Baby Girl!

Winter Fun
