Lily's New Bike

Lily loves her new bike and so do her parents!

Daddy gets a turn.....



Now Mommy...

Merry Christmas!

OK, Christmas was completely awesome. ...and totally hectic during present opening time. The kids got to open one present before everyone woke up and they were pretty patient considering that the room was filled with presents!




ELMO!!!

A vest from Aunt Sarah...which can obviously be used as a toy...





Then there was some time for relaxing....


Then off to the kitchen to help Grandma with the delicious dinner....


A little break for outside with cousin Carley...



"Un para Dios!" Skip sings a little Guitar Hero (sort of like Rock Band with the guitar and microphone)
Even Uncle Peter got into it with "On the Road Again" Yes he got booed off but Kristin says it best...

Christmas Eve

Lily had lots of fun this year for Christmas, all starting with Christmas Eve. We went to see Grandpa "G" and Glam-Ma and Uncle Drake for Christmas Brunch. Daddy's Uncle Peter came too!



Spoiling her...


Also Daddy's cousin, Kristin, her husband, Paul, and their three kids, Spencer, Matthew and Carley, Uncle Peter and Aunt Peggy, all came to visit for the holiday!Oh and Aunt Sarah too! So it was off to Grandma's for cannelloni!! (Mommy's favorite!)

Lily visits Santa

Lily had her first visit to see Santa the weekend before Christmas. Sorry it took me so long to post. She was very anxious leading up and kept repeating "Santa! Santa!" over and over. When we saw him from afar, she repeated "Santa! Santa!" again and pointed to him while walking over to him. Then this happened.....



Again, while walking away she got some more courage....


I do think its fine that she is afraid of an old fat man that she has never met that creeps into people's houses one night a year. That IS normal.

Lily dances at the gym Xmas Party

Although we didn't get that good of a video, this was Lily at her gym Xmas party. Daddy and Mommy both went and got the seats at the front of the class. Great. Although, as soon as the music started, she walked right in front of the whole class and showed her moves. Lily's dancing is probably the thing that cracks us up the most. The shoulder shrug while looking for Daddy is pretty cute. Sorry no photage...in the meantime, you can see our girl does not shy away from attention......

Sesame Street/John Legend

As many of you know, Lily is addicted to Sesame Street and Elmo. Here is one of Lily's favorite songs from Sesame Street featuring John Legend. (OK! Fine! It is actually mama and dada's favorite. I know... this is what it has come to, us having favorite Sesame Street episodes.)
