Big Girl Puzzle

She did it! She completed her first 48-piece "big-girl" puzzle! (okay, she had a little from Mommy). She was so proud.

My cup runneth over.

Randoms From Our Visit!

All in all, we had a very nice visit with Nona and Beba. I got some much needed R&R and TLC from my mommy. Thanks, Mom!

"Mommy, i found your makeup."(clearly, Layla.)

Three way smooch with a pooch!

Trying desperately to give her sis a hand up the stairs!

CLANG, CLANG, CLANG..."uh-oh, it fell". Ugh...we heard this a.l.o.t. throughout our visit. I'm guessing layla played with and dropped these metal fridge magnets, no less than, a hundred times. No...i'm not exaggerating. That sound is still ringing in my ears.

Sledding!

Sledding couldn't have been a bigger hit with our little snow bunny! Long after we were all cold and tired, she was pleading to "go one more time". No wonder sledding is so fun for kids her age...the adults do ALL the work! Let's just say, Daddy and Beba had quite a workout!

"Go fast, Daddy!"

Christmas Day!

Santa delivered!! Layla was VERY excited to see what Santa brought her. Marley didn't seem to care too much. :-) We had yummy food, a great visit with GG, LOTS of projects, and a day filled with wonderful family time!

This is, by far, Layla's favorite present. She walked around with this coat on for a good part of our visit asking, "U need a doctor?". She's a quick study...she knows how to look in ears, give shots, check reflexes, and use her "steth-scope". hmmmm....will there be medical school in her future? Better start saving those pennies, dear.

Merry Christmas Eve

We spent the day cooking, playing, and cooking so more. The girls were a big help. Marley was a whiz with the wooden spoon!

We Made It!

After a loonngg day of travel, we made it to Nona and Beba's house. The girls loved their play tent!

"I Wrapping Paper The House, Momma"

5 minutes. i was in the shower for 5 minutes. She got the paper towel out of the closet and did this...in 5 minutes. Don't tell me she didn't have this planned beforehand.

Yes, that's her in the background...admiring her work.
