Magic Show

Today Lilee went to a VERY cool birthday party! It was a Magic Show Birthday party! The Magician was wonderful & even I was left with my mouth open during the show. She loved the party favors, so I had her display them so I could take some pictures...

Her Magic Wand & Top Hat....



Then she had to show me the purple bunny that the magician made....


Then our little photo session turned silly...

Happy? Valentine's Day

I wanted to take a picture of Lilee for Valentine's Day! I asked her if she would please stand up so I could get a better picture....Well I know you don't believe she is capable of being anything but sweet, this is what happened....


The tears are SO dramatic...








Oh our girl.....we love her drama & all!!!





Happy Valentine's Day!!

Getting ready for Valentine's Day

I remember loving Valentine's Day as a child. Getting to pick the perfect cards for all my friends & creating a Valentine box out of a shoe box. Well, they are doing Valentine's day at Lilee's school & she is just as excited!!!

Her box to keep her Valentine's in

















Happy with her finished project!

Just a quick post of these pictures. Lilee was being silly & she asked me to take her picture. Of course my camera isn't far away at all times, so I was ready. First off she wanted to pose her way.......






Then after a few minutes, she was ready with another pose....





and then she was done for the day!

Happy New Year....just a few days late....as always right!!!! Daddy usually has to work on New Years Eve, so every year Lilee & I have our own party! This year we had a movie night, which Lilee LOVED, she even got to stay up late though not until 12am. I think for her 9:30 is late =D Here are a few photos from our movie night...

Lilee wanted Skittl*es in her popcorn so....see above photo


Lilee is too cool for this picture







What a great start to 2010!!

Fun times at Maw & PopPop's

We had such a fun, relaxing time & we didn't want to come home! Lilee loved bossing..I mean playing with her cousins & her PopPop. She has them all tied around her finger! It really was a wonderful week of Christmas!!

On our way, I think she could be more excited!


Getting ready for cookie making!







Maw helping her place it in a good spot!



The next day it was time for the Gingerbread house! Lilee & her cousin Ty (and sometimes Daddy) worked hard on their creation




We went to Christmas Eve mass & then on to the festivies at Chuck's Aunts house for a delicious meal & opening of presents!


The whole gang ready to open presents!!!

Every Christmas Eve we get new pj's to wear! Here is Lilee & I sporting our new jammies...



It was time to put out the reindeer food! Lilee shared it with her cousins Ty & Austin



Christmas morning Lilee actually slept in, she woke up & went to PopPop's room & he told her to come & wake us up before she could see what Santa brought & she was so precious about it too, coming over to my side of the bed & she touched my hand & said, "Mom, Santa came, you want to see what he brought you"


This is the first thing she spotted & she even posed as a Chipmunk

I didn't get a picture of her opening every gift or this post would be WAY too long!


The day we were leaving Ty brought out another Gingerbread house kit. It makes miniature houses! Of course Lilee just had to build one! Even Aunt Mandy helped!







So, here we go, everything is packed & we are on our way home and Daddy mentions that maybe Santa came to our house too! So the whole trip home we have this little girl just wondering if Daddy could drive faster!!!
When we pull into the driveway, she hasn't forgotten what Daddy said, so she runs into the house & bypasses the trees downstairs to bolt upstairs to her room to see if there are presents up stairs & by golly....sure enough Santa had come to our house too!! He spoils us very much because it was fun going to all the trees & seeing MORE presents!!!






We hope you had a nice holiday as well! Have a safe & fun New Years!

Merry Christmas!

We are wishing you & yours a VERY Merry Christmas
