Big Girl = Big Girl Bed

Lydia never slept well in her crib from day 1 home from the hospital. So we thought upgrading her bed to this toddler bed would possibly do the trick. Nope.....now she can just crawl out and walk in our bedroom at night. Oh well, at least she likes to cuddle. She is actually sleeping in this picture....the flash on the camera is good.

Christmas in Harlan

Santa was good to these girls! Too good!

Visiting Friends

This is Beau Johnson (Luke & Lindsay's little guy) and Lydia playing over Christmas break. They almost look guilty in the one picture.

Christmas with the Family

Here is Christmas in a nut shell!

One of Lydia's favorite things to do now is read, read, read. Until the books fall apart. She is really into animal books, and she likea to make the noises. But her favorite is "puppies" and if they are black their name is "Jesse" like our dog.

This is a great pic Aunt Darci snapped when Lydia got told "no" after stealing cousin Morgan's baby bottles and the fact that it was 10pm way past this little girls bed time!

Happy, Happy Grandma with her 2 grandbabies, dressed by Grandma, only to perfection. Thanks MOM! Keep it up for the next 17 yrs please.

The girls are now changed for bed....matching of course (Grandma). Lets kiss each other goodnight

...and steal each others sippie cups!

Personalized Onsies!

A friend from work and her mom started an online business selling organic cotton onsies and personalizing them. Lydia got to be one of the lucky toddlers to model for the site. Here are some pics.

Here is the tree and Lydia!

We put the tree up and Lydia was so excited and wanted to "redecorate" but finally she gave up after a week of removing items from the tree and handing me bulbs are ornaments all day. Surprisingly, nothing has broke yet.

Her new singing snowmen, what a great toy to keep her occupied, thanks Hallmark!!!

Oh course....have to give frosty a kiss.

Lydia getting busted in the act taking off bulbs!

OH so...pretty. No room for a star. Kind of got carried away on the "big tree" idea. Sad part is....its artificial and a foot too tall.

12 Days til Christmas

The year flew....again. I have been bad about posting and updating my blog. My new years resolution will be to update more often. These are 1 year apart. Babies grow up toooo fast and she continues to get blonder every day...
