The next great cyclist

So for Christmas Olivia asked Santa for a bicycle. And even though she told me Santa brought her the wrong bike :-), I think she has forgiven him and has been practicing riding in the basement.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

The snow that fell today was beautiful. Very glad to have a white Christmas since we won't be seeing any of the white stuff for the foreseeable future. So while dinner was in the oven, we decided to go out and play.

this was Cameron's reaction to the snow.

Olivia was a bit more excited!!

A little holiday cheer

Just a little something to get you in the holiday spirit-

The next Betty Crocker

WIth the weather being so cold and windy lately I haven't been much on getting the girls out. So I decided that Olivia and I would make some cut-out sugar cookies to help pass the time. After borrowing cookie cutters from my sister and a rolling pin from my mom(can you tell I don't bake much) we were set. I made the dough up last night so we could get right down to the nitty gritty today. I knew this project wasn't going to a work of beauty but definitely something fun to do with Olivia. I think Olivia had fun making cookies and I can see us making them again soon.

a few sprinkles for the cookie, a few sprinkles for the counter

                                         

Olivia kept getting the sprinkles bottle into the icing and she thought it was funny to lick it off.

not shabby for a first attempt

                                        

This has nothing to really do with cookie making but Cameron thinks it is hilarious to sit on the diswahser as I am trying to load it.

Happy Birthday!!!!

Happy Birthday Cameron!!!!! One year ago today, we were anxiously awaiting the arrival of our new baby girl. She entered the world and forever changed our lives at 7:16 p.m. It is hard to remember what live was like before she came along and I wouldn't change that for the world. Wow, where has the last year gone? It is so hard for me to believe that my little 6lbs. 5 oz. peanut is a already a year old.
