Jail Break

Lily has figured out how to escape from downstairs. . .we have a make-shift blockade (our chair pushed next to the couch) to keep Lily limited to one room downstairs. Today she broke through 3 times before we actually caught her in the act. . .she dives head-first to the other side!

Today we spent Thanksgiving at PawPaw & Grandma's house....Grandma prepared an awesome Thanksgiving dinner! Daddy had to work today but was having a big Thanksgiving dinner at the fire station. Ali carried my camera around for about an hour and actually got some good shots! The last 6 pictures were taken by Ali.........tonight PawPaw & Grandma are coming up to watch the girls while Aunt Al & I do some midnight shopping for bargains....

Daddy took Ali to gymnastics this evening.......Lily found the towel drawer and emptied it while I cooked dinner. Lily is feeling better, she had double ear infections and has been on antibiotics for a few days........

This morning Aunt Susan dropped by for a visit.........of course, Ali needed her toes painted! This afternoon we picked Zach up in H'ville & headed to Archie to see PawPaw & Grandma.

Lunch With Aunt Al

Today me & the girls met Aunt Al for lunch at Red Robin..........then, we shopped and played at Zona Rosa.

We woke up to snow this morning but it rained all day and it went away. . .daddy is at work today and the kids & I have spent the day in our PJs. . .my 2 little helpers (not helpers) have been helping (not helping at all) me clean today.

Ersix's Birthday Party

We had a great time at Eric's birthday party today. Lily Lou fell asleep on Sara's lap sitting on the trampoline.

Busybodies!

Lily had a little mishap in the bathtub yesterday and got a cut on her left eye

Ali having a peanut butter sandwich for lunch. . .she said "just peanut butter, NO jelly, mama"

Last night Matt & I took the girls to the circus (Ali, Lily, & LoLo)...we met Jessica, Jack, & Uncle Demian there...Ali had a great time! She has been talking about the bear riding a motorcycle today, she could not believe that! Lily was a wiggle worm throughout the show but overall did pretty good.

Lily is into EVERYTHING! She's all over the place. She is not walking yet but she will be soon. She walks along the couch and stands alone for long periods of time. Occasionally she says "mama", usually when she is crying.

Ali's 3rd Birthday

Today was Ali's 3rd birthday! We started out this morning with 3 candles on pancakes for breakfast & then had a big party with our family and friends this evening. Grandma made us homemade ice cream and we had a Dora cake that Ali picked out all by herself.
