Last Week

Last Sunday, Mark got us free tickets to see the Harlem Globetrotters.  It was a bit crazy with the kids, but at least we were in a nice suite with yummy food!

 Anna enjoyed the food more than the game.

 Here's Luke escaping his makeshift playpen.

 We were snowed/iced in all week and luckily had a Girls' Night Out planned for Friday!  Here we are at the yummy Italian restaurant.

 And here's me later on the snow potty.  Boy, our GNO's get wild and crazy!

 Luke is cruising everywhere now and likes to be wherever his sister is.... especially when she's eating.

 She decided to be nice and feed him some... he loved it!



Luke is 9 Months Old!

I can't believe Luke is 9 months old today!!  My baby is growing toooo fast!  It was a beautiful day to celebrate.  It was warm enough for me to wear short sleeves & flip-flops when we went to the park!  We  packed a little picnic and enjoyed that before we played.

We rode in the wagon to the park and Anna finished her lunch when we rode home.  Luke stole Anna's juice box and chewed on it.

Anna's getting too big for this swing, but still likes it. :D

Luke has been cruising around and pulling up and can also walk around behind his push toys.  oh my!

A Haircut and Pulling Up

Today was the first haircut Anna's had since my aunt gave her the 1st one when she was little bitty.  Here she was concentrating on watching Dora, the movie she got to pick to watch while getting her haircut.

 She also got a braid.  Don't worry - the bandage is only covering a minor scratch. :)

Luke is now pulling up on everything in the house and cruising around couches and things.  Where did my baby go??  Please excuse the mess in the background. :D



This and That

JuJu made us cute matching aprons, so Anna & I made some yummy cookies to take to our new neighbors!

 Anna was really good at sifting the flour. :)

 Here's the new train Granny gave the kids for Christmas and the train table Papa made.  Anna loves her new train!  I love Luke's expression in this one. :)

 Poor Luke... this is the sad fate of a little boy who has a big sister.  haha!

 And here was Luke after enjoying some spaghetti.  Is it me or does he look way too grown up in this one??



Snow 2011!

A couple days ago we got snow!!  And I can't believe there's still some lingering outside... Luke got to enjoy it in the bumbo. 

Who's having the most fun?

Here's Anna's Princess Snow Girl!



A Bit more Christmas

I'm way behind, but here's Christmas Day!

 I think this lip gloss was Anna's favorite! :)

 Singing Happy Birthday to Jesus!

 Joseph played basketball, Mary looked on and Baby Jesus was happy in his suitcase. :)

 Father/Son Footie PJs!



More Christmas!

Here's some pics from some fun pre-Christmas activites! 

 Here's what happens when Daddy watches me!

 Playing with friends in the little house!

 Cookies & milk for Santa!  Poor Daniel REALLY wanted to eat one!
