First Snow of the Season

Lily did not like the snow last year. Which is a shame, because we sure got a lot of it. Today we got about 3 inches and she was JAZZED to put on her pants, boots, etc. and get out there in it.

"I love sweeping the snow!"

And then we needed a hat change, because the cute hat kept sliding up her hair.

"See how I can throw the snow, Mommy?"

Old McDonald's Puppet Show

Lily has recently discovered a love of puppet shows. The following video is her interpretation of a puppet show she learned at her gym class.

Party Weekend

We had 3 Chanukah parties and 1 birthday party this weekend. Here are some pictures/videos of the cuteness:

"I am having so much fun at Sadie's Birthday Party in this moonbounce/obstacle course!"

Doing art at shul with the big girls.

Sitting very still while getting kitty-cat face painting.

Lily the kitty-cat watches Daddy light the candles (notice they are all orange tonight).

Lily sings Chanukah oh Chanukah:

Chanukah Candles

Lily feels that it is very important for all the candles to match.

"Okay Mommy, the first night we did all blue, the second all red, tonight is all yellow."

Lily knows the beginning of the blessings...



Lily also knows a lot of Chanukah songs: The Dreidel Song, Chanukah oh Chanukah, A song about maccabais, and 5 little latkes. Unfortunately, it is very hard to get her to sing them on camera. Here is most of the dreidel song in 2 parts.

Thanksgiving 2010

We had a great thanksgiving in Pittsburgh. Lily loved cooking thanksgiving dinner (although she ate fish sticks and broccoli instead of turkey). While she didn't like eating stuffing, she did like stirring it!

"Grammy and I are making stuffing in our matching aprons!"

"Aunt Rachel and I love to play dress up."

Winter Hats

While it has not yet gotten that cold here in Maryland, we are headed to Pittsburgh for Thanksgiving and it is supposed to be on the chilly side. As we are packing, we went looking for our winter hats. Lily found hers and wanted to wear it the other day. Here she is modeling both of her hats.

The Puppet Show

Each week during Lily's gym class, they do a puppet show for the kids. Today, Lily decided to put on a puppet show and dance for us.
