Christmas Candids

We had a hard time keeping up with our busy toddler and take lots of quality pictures. Here are some pictures we did manage to take of all of our family Christmas celebrations. We had wonderful Christmas Eve, Christmas and post Christmas celebrations. We are very fortunate to have so many wonderful family and friends! We were very spoiled by so many lovely things and such quality time together!

Lilly's Christmas Hightlights

Besides all the wonderful gifts Lilly is playing with and loving there were a few fun Christmas events that seemed to be Lilly's favorites.

Running and screaming with Eli outside on the deck.

More running and screaming with cousins and friends.

Even more running and screaming. The kids just couldn't get enough. Eventually we had to bundle them up in coats they wanted to stay outside for so long.

Climbing up stairs with Eli and by herself.

Opening and closing the curtains.

But the most fun was the arrival of the Christmas Dog. My brother and his girlfriend gave my parents a puppy for Christmas. Lilly was so excited about the new puppy! She just couldn't get enough of it. Although her intentions were good she was still pretty rough with her.

This pictures sums up most of her Christmas evening. Trying so desperately to get close to the Christmas Pup.

First Ponytail

A few weeks ago Lilly came home from daycare with her first pony tail! Every day after nap time they do the little girls' hair. For months they have been pretending to do Lilly's hair and afterwards she would walk around very proud of herself. She came home VERY proud of her little pony tail and often wants to sit in my lap to have her hair done now. I have no idea how to get a pony tail into tiny amount of hair!

On a side note Lilly LOVES the little girls in her daycare class. There are three of them that are really close. She has even started to say their names! They call the three of them the "Giggle Girls" because they are hyper and happy.

Can you spot the tiny pony tail in the picture???

Baby of Christmas Past

We were organizing our pictures from last year and had to share one of Lilly from around Christmas time last year. We can't believe how big she has gotten in just one year. She is such a wonderful child. So sweet and so fun! We are so happy and blessed to have such a darling little girl!
