Happy Hannukah

Last Friday Vivi had her last day at Lil' Goldman's for the year. Can you believe it's almost 2009? They had a big Hannukah party at the school and Vivi and I joined in the fun. I felt a little lost but Vivi actually new some of the Hebrew and sang a cute little song about the menorah. We had a funny window of time so we stopped in for a sweet mommy time with a breakfast at McD's beforehand.

Nana's Birthday

It seems we have a plethora of birthdays in December. So we pretty much celebrate all month long. Last Thursday was Nana's bday and we were able to sneak a way for a birthday lunch of just the girls and little Isaac. Aunt Em and cousin Chloe came in for the celebration along with a childhood friend Lissy. We had a nice lunch and danced around to Mamma Mia, taking a break from Christmas music. Hope you had a special day Nana!

Pretty Pretty Princess Nana

Trying to get creative with a little two year old and newborn is quite the challenge, but we can always count on our Nana for inspiration. The other day, Vivi pulled out her Pretty Pretty Princess game and crowned Nana. I thought this was pretty cute. Also, to any who may wonder- the beautiful pj's came from Uncle Joel and Vivi will tell anyone who asks. He brought them back from Thailand and just lately Vivi has taken to them so much I can barely get them in the wash. Plus with the cold front she freezes in them so we just put thermals underneath. Too fun.

Happy Birthday Aunt Emmy

Today is our Aunt Emmy's birthday and yesterday Vivi and I had a great time making her a bundt cake. We put on our matching heart aprons and pulled back our hair. Vivi sifted the powder sugar and mommy measured the ingredients. Vivi dumped everything into the bowl and helped me pound the peppermint candy lands (she calls candy canes). Unfortunately, I had left my camera at school from Vivi's hannukah party and so didn't capture any of this fun time visually. Even more unfortunate, our Aunt Em got a stomach bug and couldn't enjoy the cake. Oh well...I guess it wasn't meant to be. Still...I wanted to wish Emily a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Maybe we'll get some pictures as we truly get to celebrate later. Love you!

Silent Night

I got this idea to make a silent night show of Isaac's sleepy shots. Enjoy and I hope it makes you feel at peace as much as it does us.

Preschool Party-Hot Chocolate

Vivi is learning about days of the week at home and preschool. We received a nice box in the mail with some fun clothes mommy had ordered on-line including Vivi's new favorite outfit which has "Hot, hot chocolate!" on it. She was ready to wear it that very second, but instead I told her she could wear it on Friday for her preschool class party. We talked about how many days that would be since it was Sunday she had to hold out awhile but she made it. Here are some sweet shots of her and her classmates enjoying donuts, face painting, jumpy house, and painting a craft.

Are you seeing triple?

The other morning I stepped out of the shower to this image. Am I seeing triple? I think big sister is doing a GREAT job taking care of little Isaac.
