Happy New Year

A couple shots of everyone playing on the floor. The last shot is how Lily dressed herself for bed. Two different pjs and a tutu. I removed the 15 books she had in bed with her. So cute, except for the fact that she has been up, so have I, since 430 this morning.

Lily makes me laugh.

Ok, so maybe we are posting too many Tate videos today, but this is just great.  Lily came home from school and got a cupcake for sleeping all night long in her big girl bed.  Tate was watching her eat, and apparently thought it was hilarious.  He was laughing so hard.  It went on for a long time.  That little boy sure does love his big sister.  If you look closely, you can see a tear in Daddy's eye - he was so happy during this whole thing.  

I drive.

Lily climbed into the driver's seat at school today and told me that "I drive". It was cute, as you can see. It was cute, until I put her back in her carseat and she lost her mind, planked herself, and screamed, "I drive" and "my car keys" the whole way home. Maybe I should have just let her drive.

Gingerbread House

Ali and Lily made a gingerbread house today - no one cried. Upon final inspection there were no code violations to be found so it will be allowed to remain standing. Activities such as this are refered to as "mother-daughter bonding."
