calendar girl - december

These pics were taken when she was actually about 6 1/2 months old and I'm glad I waited (or was late) because I got some sitting up pictures!  YAY!







 


This is her "can we be done yet?" face! 

So I got this tiny little Santa hat when Addi was 3 months old and I've been saving it for Halle's 6 month pictures.  I never dreamed it would be too small, but guess what...it was pretty snug!







And for another comparison, here's Addi wearing the hat when she was 3 months old!  I love her "why the heck am I wearing this silly hat" face.  So funny!

And back to Hal...







Addi is such a great assistant to me when I take Halle's pictures!  She's always jumping around making her smile for me!  She loves to jump in at the end and take some "sister pictures" and I can't resist these two faces together so I always say yes! 





I'm afraid Hal is going to be feeling this way for the rest of her life:

happy birthday scott

Scott's birthday is the day after Christmas.  Addi wanted to make him a pink cake this year...good thing he likes strawberry cake!  LuLu had lots of different sprinkles to choose from, but it was such a hard decision so Addi ended up using them ALL!



Prettiest cake i've ever seen, honey! 


So I decided to do what all great mom's do and let their child pick out anything for their daddy's birthday!  I actually took her to the dollar tree and let her pick out 10 treasures.  It was hysterical!  Scott didn't quite know what to do with his 10 extra special birthday gifts, but they were all priceless!  

The HUGE party hat was one of his 10 things but it wouldn't fit in the bag so he got it before he opened the rest. 

I don't know who was more excited to see him hope it, Addi or me! 

"Wow. Ring pops?" 

"Yes daddy. And you can share with me."

Wasn't that sweet of her? 

"Oh. And marshmallows!?!" 

A sea foam green pumice stone.

A 100 piece Buzz Lightyear puzzle..."because daddy loves doing puzzles with me!" 

Rubber ducky bubbles. 

Christmas balls 

A 10 pack of paper cups with Santa on them. 

Green body wash 

and...drum roll please.... 

a green porcelain angel! 


She has never been more proud! 

"Can I have one now?" 

And let's not forget the Alvin & the Chipmunks (aka chicken-munks) singing card that she insisted on! 


Addi picked out a card from Halle and it was a Christmas card with reindeer on it. 



After making our way back home, we celebrated that night with her cake!  Scott's face was priceless when he saw the cake! 


"Make a wish daddy!" 

"Now blow them out!" 

This is Scott's "you've lost your mind for giving her free reign over the sprinkles" face! 

and a big TA-DA and special thanks for my special birthday helper...couldn't have done it without you sweetie! 

Happy Birthday, Scott!!
At least you aren't dirty-thirty anymore, right?
