Christmas 2023

 

Tree

 

We got a great deal on a tree and surprised the kids with it.

I knew Sienna would gravitate to the ladder. I am surprised she went there after the tree. 

Hanging out like little tree trolls

Gram made Lucy this cute hat

She can sit in the bumbo and hold onto toys for a little! Go Addie Pie. 

Milk fountain

She loves chatting with her big brother

Painting a Christmas

 Sean bought me paint for Christmas and we are slowly painting the kitchen together. Our kitchen already looks so much brighter and I love painting together. 

Sean made these mountains on the inside of a cabinet and I think they are gorgeous. 

Adalind learned a new trick! She can suck her thumb 

Getting more and more comfortable in her skates. She still gets frustrated but she isn't giving up. 

Lucy built a train and insisted I ride. 

Lighting the menorah 

The kids wanted to get in on it.....this was exhausting. 

Lucy is 3....more

 

We tried making a mirror cake. It looks okay and Lucy liked adding the sprinkles. It tastes much better than I expected so that was nice too. 

We went to Applebee's to celebrate after Sean got home.

Lucy is 3

 

Lucy means light and this little girl sure does light up our lives. We have loved spending 3 years with her. She asked for skates months ago. I built her a skate trainer and she got skates from her grandpa and a helmet and pads from grandma and grandpa. 

She loved these decorations from Gram and seemed very satisfied after arranging them like thus.
