BATHTIME = FUN TIME

"Whoa! Whoa! Stop me from having so much with all the ducks, and bath tub crayons, and toys, and running water. It's all too much to take in!!!

Next night:

How could the bath be any more fun? Add a swimming puppy dog? Are you guys the best parents ever or what?!!!

Just for that...I'll give you my irresistible smirk.

SNOW!

Do you see it? It's right there! That's not scratches on my camera lense...it's SNOW!\

The first snow in Decatur since we've lived here. The day before this, there was actually snow covering the ground! For a few hours! I don't have pictures to prove it but Lillianna can vouch for me because she got to EAT some off a bush.

These pictures are from the next morning on our way over to

Ginny and Mary Bibb's house for some morning playtime.

"Good morning everyone and welcome to my Dora Tent"

"Hey Mary Bibb, are you in there? where's the door?"

Same Sweet Stuff....Different Day

We start everymorning the same way....milk on the couch,

blueberries in the high chair, peanut butter toast on the coffee table.

All three are sweet moments, such a sweet way to get our day started.

One of the best parts of everday is when I say, "Do you want to eat some berries?" And Lillianna lights up like I havn't said it every morning for the past month and says,"Berries!" and pushes herself off the couch and runs into the kitchen pumping her arms in her

Frantic Berry Dance.

I think she would eat blueberries until the rest of her body turned as blue as her poop is now. She loves blueberriesas more than Elmo, the Wiggles, and Bear Bear combined. If all else fails in making her happy...there is always blueberries.

Chilly days

My little Snow Bunny

Weeeee....I love my new wagon!

So does Bear Bear

I'll push you Pooh...hold on tight!

Let's go!

Sweetest girl.

The early christmas bird gets the worm

So today at lunch, I was talking to Brad while Lillianna made laps around the downstairs. After a minute it was quiet and then I heard Lillianna grunting and sighing. I looked down the hallway, saw what she was up to, and grabbed the camera. She had found her first Christmas present! That's what I get for wrapping it an Elmo or "Melmo" bag. Inside, she found a giant tub of plastic play food. For someone who loves to eat and didn't have any play food yet, Lillianna couldn't have been more excited!

Is this really what I think it is?

"Look Dad, A whole tub of food just sitting in a bag. Help me open it so we can play with it!"

Mmmmm....Waffles and hot dogs and tacos...Oh my!


So after "eating" all that she wanted, Lilliannd decided to play drop the food in the bucket...with her teeth. It really was so funny!

Back and better than ever!

This is Lillianna over a week ago enjoying a brisk morning.

This is Lillianna a few days later when we all had a horrible stomach virus. yuck.

This is Lillianna saying "Ho Ho Ho" when she saw Santa this weekend at a family Christmas party. It was the first time the three of us had left in the house in nearly a week. Boy were we glad to see Santa and super glad to be able to eat Jean Jean's dressing!

This is Lillianna feeling even better yesterday reading the book Pet from the Zoo. It has a flap on every page and I have to brag that all 10 of the flaps are still in the book! That's how much my little book worm loves books!

This is Lillianna throwing the ball to you! Catch!

Merry & Bright

This was Thanksgiving day at the "Country" or the Hunting Camp.

I love how her hair looks in the sunset. We had a wonderful time with family and

Lillianna enjoyed all the wide open spaces to run and run

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas!

I dressed her in some festive Christmas wear to try and snap a cute photos.

The following didn't make the cut for the Christmas card but they are still keepers.

Week-end Wrap-up

Playdate with Mary Bibb on Friday...

so many toys...so much fun!

Saturday morning, getting ready for the Alabama Game,

Lillianna helps Brad pack the cooler.

At the hunting camp, Lillianna enjoyed "long" walks

with Grandpa James, Jean Jean, Mommy, Da Da, & Boone.

Back at home, it was the best of times with her friends

Then it was the worst of times...arrrr puppy dog!

Tired from the long weekend & ready to watch her nightly dose of The Wiggles,

Goodnight sweetgirl!
