Cookie decorating party!

Our friend Peyton and her mommy, Allison had a cookie decorating party at Peyton's grandma's house. There was a fun photo booth and a some fun cookie decorating.

Christmas fun

Our Christmas began the weekend after Thanksgiving when we went to the Mainstay Tree Farm. We didn't expect for there to be so much fun for Lil. We played on slides, went through mazes, and picked out our own tree. What a fun time. We ended the day by decorating the tree. Last year, Lil just thought the ornaments were toys. This year, she really got the idea and spent extra time thinking about locations for every ornament.

Her name

She wrote her name all by herself!

First official haircut

School begins again this coming week and we knew it was time for Lil to get a haircut. Billy had trimmed her bangs earlier but it was time for an official cut.
Billy goes to a barber shop just down the street and Essie has been cutting his hair for years. She always asks about Lilly and she and B share kid stories since she has a grandchild just a little younger than Lilly.
So who else to do her first haircut than Essie?

When we got there, we had to wait a bit, so Lil got to watch people getting their hair cut. It was good for her to see that and ask questions.

Then it was daddy's turn to get his hair cut. By then, she was feeling comfortable and ready for her haircut! She kept asking, "Is it my turn now?".

As soon as Essie was done with daddy's hair, Lilly jumped up into the chair like a big girl!

Where does she get this stuff?

Lil: mommy. Lay down. Now pretend to sleep. Now say honk shoo a lot.

Let's plant some!

Eating ice cream at Jason's Deli. Some dribbled out of her mouth.
Me: are you drooling?
Lil: no. I was just spitting the seeds out of the ice cream!
