cutest girls playing dress up
And have I ever turned away a child wanting a pic with moi? NEVER!
Tuesday, our FINNEY turned ONE!!!!!!!!!
I know everyone says it, but seriously....where did the last year go? I can NOT believe she is already one!
She is the light of our house.
Each kid fights over holding/playing with/touching/feeding/making her laugh
She fake laughs all the time, with the ugliest cheeser face and it is THEE BEST
She just got her 5th tooth
She still has the most precious teensy nerd looking toesies
She likes doggies and dollies
She growls with the best of them
She wakes up every morning at 4-6 for a morning glass of warm milk
then goes back to sleep (thank heavens)
She LOVES food and is not ok if everyone is eating real food and she's stuck with the baby stuff
She loves water
She gives the strangest wet/slippery kisses and they are very at random
She still has the shortest femurs ever
She has no desire to walk
She is our sweet heart girl
We had a par-tay for her at Mana's on Sunday.
first up on the party agenda: presents
She was delighted with the card from Grandma Joan
"oh wow!"
"cheeeeeese"
Sawyer licked her lips in anticipation
and LOVED giving Fin her gifts
oh she loved the baby
"hiiiii friend!"
Aunt Karri made her a special cake.
...which she wasn't so sure about....
she just liked to pitty pat the frosting
which she promptly growled at and scarfed down
and licked it off her fingers
mmmm delicious
and clapped it in her hands some more
looking to daddy for the go ahead.
He tried to dip her face in it, but it sorely hurt her feelings
she just preferred the delicate, slow way
We are soooo grateful to have this chubbalufagus in our house.
She is such a sweet girl!
Conli had her Christmas Program Tuesday night.
The whole 1st grade performed
-How the Grinch Stole Christmas-
and it was darling.
You could hear each word, in every poem and song!
incredible!
she couldn't hardly stand the excitement.
She was sooo excited to practice every day, and kept almost telling us all about it, but stopped herself and kept it a great surprise!
Fin loved it
Conli the Grinch
Conli the happy Who
and the best supporters around
Afterwards we loaded up on some delicious fro-yo and hung out for a minute.
It was a great night
