FINALLY! It feels like Christmas!

For weeks Lilly has been wishing for snow .... For those of you who don't know IT DOES NOT SNOW IN SAINT GEORGE UTAH! Most of the time it doesnt get under 45 degrees during the day and that is the COLDEST! But here we are in two inches of cold, slushy OH MY TOESIES! SNOW! And oh have I missed it, I must admit I have been a little sad that it doesnt look like Christmas around here. Since I spent the last three Christmas' in Cedar City WHERE IS DOES SNOW! So Lilly I hope you enjoy your White Christmas there is a little part of me that thinks God did this for the one and only you!

Lilly's big day!

Today I took Lilly out on a day of fun! Just the girls we went to The Children's Place and I let Lilly pick out a birthday outfit, turns out she is a little bargin shopper! Her whole outfit only cost $4.00 !!!! lol Next we went to Chilis where she had her favorite, pizza and freanch fries. When we were done eating the chilis crew sang her "Happy Birthday" and brought her and chocolate brownie covered in chcolate syrup!Next we we went to the Washington Community Center, where we went swimming in their indoor water park, and played what ever she wanted! Mostly we played "FISH." After swimming for a couple of hours we went to the food court and had some ice cream. From there we went to Target where we bought goodies for her birthday party on saturday. Then! we went to see the movie "BOLT" a very cute movie by the way. with her cup of pink lemon aid, popcorn, and care bear gummies she was just beaming, I love seeing her that happy. Although it was the day before her Birthday, we had a lot of fun celebrating! I love you baby!

Making Ornaments!!

This is a fun thing that Lilly and I do, homemade ornaments have such character!
We have done the all spice cinnamon one before but this time we did the flour dough ones, they are great for hand a foot prints.
We had a lot of fun playing with the cookie cutters and the dough.
If you want to do something like this just google "flour dough recipes."

A Talk with Santa

Today Jeff an I took Lilly to the Red Cliffs Mall to see Santa!
BIG change from last year, she ran right up to him, jumped in his lap,
and started telling him alllllll about the doll house that she wanted for Christmas.
We were waiting for the family before us to finish buying their photo, so Lilly
got to talk to Santa about her doll house for a good 10 minutes before the photo was even taken! Good job Lilly youre getting to be such a big girl. I love you!

Great Help

So, with me being so sick during my pregnancy, and Jeff working full time all the time (poor guy). Jeff's mom (Elaine) kindly offerned to come and help us out, while Jeff was having a much deserved good time in Vegas.

Lilly was so very excited to see her Grandma M&M, and I was really excited to get some of our stuff in the garage in buckets out of my site and off our closet shelves.

What I'm trying to say is "Thank you so much Elaine for helping us out. I really needed and wanted the help, and it was a big big big help." Thank You we love you.
