Holiday Baking

Some holiday baking fun!

 She took her job very serious!

 Until we got to the flour for the sugar cookies.

 It started with seeing what flour smells like...

 and seeing all the cool things you can do with it...

 to trouble really quickly!

She had fun....but her baking ended pretty fast after this mess!



Merry Christmas

I wish all of my friends and family a very Merry Christmas! I will post Santa pics soon!

I don't know if I can officially say this yet... but...potty training has been a success!!!!!!!!! I am so proud of my baby girl!

I got a little stressed last night because she was so busy playing with her cousin  that she had a couple accidents, but today she went the entire day in panties with no accidents (including naptime) :) I think this was the best Christmas present ever!

We are ready for Christmas!

#1-Potty Training is going much better that the last time we tried. She has been very successful the last few days!!!

We are finally ready for Santa...for the most part. I am done shopping, the house is decorated, and I have started baking. I have a few more things I am going to bake in the next couple of days. Here are some of our decorations...

                                                                         Our trees are up...

                          Our cards are out and I have enjoyed getting cards in the mail everyday...

                                                      Some light boxes that I made a few years ago...

                                                                    Stockings are hung...

                                                  ...and the banister is decorated with garland.

Our new ornaments for this year...

                              Rapunzel for the movie Tangled that we took Taylor to see and she loved.

                                                           Ballet slippers for starting ballet.

                                                    Tinkerbell since Taylor was Tink for Halloween. 

and a pretty ornament that isn't new, but looked pretty again this year.

Taylor is very excited for Santa this year. She really wants a "pink pillow pet" and a "purple dress (Rapunzel)." She's easy to please this year :)

She's a Ballerina

She finally went to dance class! She has been wanting to go for a long time but I didn't know where I should take her or where she could go only being 2. There is a brand new little dance studio that opened up right by our house, so it worked out perfect. It's literally about a minute away and just opened this week. We took her and told them it was a trial because we weren't sure if she would really do it and we were wrong! She was all about it. It was so cute to watch.

                                                                      Before we left.

Proud Daddy

Proud Grandma who brought her a Ballet Barbie.

She met a friend.

                                                                          My favorite!

She says she wants to go back again!

Turkey Treats

I found these cute turkey treats somewhere online and knew that Taylor would love to help me make them. Well, turns out she liked helping unwrap candy and eating it way more than making them. So, I finished them and they turned out pretty cute. Taylor got all excited when they were done.

She did try to put feathers on. This was her turkey that she made (above).

  

A week off of work!

Who wouldn't want to be home spending time with this sweet girl?!

A Day With Thomas

On Veteran's Day we spent the day with Thomas. It was pretty cute. Taylor really likes Thomas so she thought that riding a real train was so neat. It was cute to see her so excited about it.

Ready for the ride!

Having a snack on the back of an old train. 

It was a very cute event. There were about a million excited little kids :)
