A Visit to Grandma and Grandpa's "House"

This weekend, we went to New Jersey to visit Grandma and Grandpa. While Sarah and I went to New York, Lily stayed in New Jersey. While we were gone, Grandma and Grandpa showed Lily their new "house." Lily loved coloring it and playing in it.

"Welcome to my new house!"

Taking Pictures

Grandma and Grandpa got Lily a Fisher Price digital kid-tough camera for her birthday. Lily likes taking pictures of everything Even though she really doesn't hold the camera still enough to get a clear picture, she loves that its a real camera with screen and everything. Here is a picture of me helping her take a picture of her "guys" and then some that she took.

All these she took by herself:
Monkey:
Cookie Monster:
Magnets on the refrigerator:
Grandma:

Ballet Class

One of the "perks" of being in the 3 year old room at school is that there is a new enrichment opportunity for Lily to experience. 3 year olds can take ballet! In ballet shoes! And tutus! (Well, leotards, but I got her one with a little skirt so she thinks its a tutu.) Lily is so excited about starting ballet that she... put on tights. I know, I was surprised too. Here is a little video of her dancing around after I had her try on her stuff. FYI - the shoes you see here are too small. We have since gotten bigger ones.

Lily's 3rd Birthday Party

Everyone had a blast at Lily's birthday party last weekend. Here are a few pictures.

"Welcome to my party!"

Circle time with Jaida and Ryan.

Mommy and Daddy help me blow out the candles.

"Thanks for bringing such yummy cake, Papa J!"

A ride on the zip line swing to finish out the party!

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.
