Christmas Eve...the children made a gingerbread house. What a delicious way to pass the day waiting for Santa's arrival!

Gabby's Turn

12.23.09

I took Gabby this afternoon to get her ears pierced! She's at the perfect age where she isn't going to deliberately play with them and won't mind me cleaning them. She did beautifully! She cried for just a few seconds and then smiled at the end!!!! Such a good baby!! Connor, Cameron, Hannah, & Lily were so proud of her, and the girls are delighted that they're all so sparkly this Christmas. Merry early Christmas to my sweet little girls! How I love them :)

Dog pile on Daddy

Within one minute of him laying on the floor, it's "Dog Pile On Daddy!!!!!!!"

Lily's ear piercing

12.22.09

Well, Lily saw Hannah's beautiful pierced ears and wanted hers done too. The girls and I all headed out to pierce Lily's ears. Lily chose pearls, and Hannah, as only a big sister can, reassured her that it would be okay. Lily was excited & willing at first. After the first ear, she decided one earring was enough and looked just fine! It took some persuasion from mommy to get Lily to go through with the second ear. When it was all done, Lily asked to use my cell phone to call Daddy. When she got him on the line she said, "Daddy, I did it!" She was so proud of herself. She looks lovely and is doing well.

Hannah's Early Christmas Present

A little girl's rite of passage....

Today Hannah received one of her Christmas presents early...she got her ears pierced!! She was so brave. She never cried or even said ouch. She chose beautiful pink diamond studs. The last picture shown is Hannah preparing to have the first ear done. The second to last is the piercing in progress. After getting her ears pierced, I took Hannah out to lunch. She loves salad with grilled chicken! We had a fun mother & daughter luncheon and special day. Hannah is lovely and sparkles as brightly as our Christmas tree!
