Christmas Eve 2013 (Gaga and Papa Visit, Gingerbread House Making)

Prepping for the evening shift with daddy

Lillian drinking her cuppa - she has to stay up all night with daddy, after all.

Baking Christmas Cookie Presents

For Christmas this year Simon is giving people Christmas Cookies. We mixed together, he helped roll out the dough and he cut the cookies. He even used his finger to do the indent while I spooned out the raspberry jam. He also colored boxes and put the cookies into the boxes - counting 10 for each box. 

Merry Christmas All!

The Walking Dad

When Lillian was first born, she slept all the time and barely cried.  "She's even mellower than baby Simon was!" we told everyone.  "This will be so easy!"

We were so wrong.

This is not mellow

Little Beans Christmas Party

We won tickets to the Little Bean's Christmas Party on Friday night. Simon dressed up in his fancy duds and we went to see Santa at Little Beans. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of Lillian dressed up in her fancy silk outfit, but they both had their picture taken with Santa and Jenn got some pictures of them together before we left. The party was great fun. There was a lady reading stories and a guy playing the guitar, there was pizza and snacks and of course tons of toys and Santa! Simon had a blast!

Simon Holding Lillian

Just after I stopped recording Simon scooted out from under Lillian and dashed away. 

Simon meets Lillian

With all the crazy when Lillian was first born I somehow never posted the amazing pictures that Jenn took of Simon and Lillian meeting. There are so many amazing ones!
