lucy & daddy pre-jon leaving for last week's work trip :)
candy cane art- "tandy tanes" are lucy's absolute favorite food these days!
we have had some beautiful days, so we took our xmas game outside! we had to gather rocks from the backyard to hold down our cards :)
sweet e at meme's :)
meme & lucy made peppermint frosting for some deliciously amazing festive brownies! crushing the candy canes with a giant rolling pin was lucy's favorite part :)
except for licking the beater- the best!
eloise crawled for lucy's toys 3x in a row! it was slow & sloppy, but it's a definite start!
rice krispy gingerbread house :)
my little mommy with her baby wrapped cozy in the moby
ziplock baggy painting with fun festive shapes
this jingle bell string turned necklace is lucy's current favorite accessory...
jingle bell toss!
fun to decide which is louder- jingle bells landing in the pot or the box :)
carousel ride- i love taking the girls to the mall as an excuse for a salted caramel mocha from the nordstrom coffee bar :)
jon's grandmother's birthday was thursday- happy birthday gg!
big girl sitting in a restaurant highchair!
lucy & gmom :)
dandurand family + gg [gmom's mom]
this art project was so simple & easy! it looks darling on the tree! lucy loves to craft with buttons.
christmas matching game- lucy is learning to recognize numbers, and knows all of her shapes + her & her sister's name & mom/dad! i love this age- can you tell?!? holding onto the jingle bells just makes everything more fun :)
brown paper packages ties up with string- wrapped christmas presents are a few of my favorite things :)
fa la la la laaaaa! finished! how great did lucy's homemade wrapping paper turn out?
we have big boxes ready to ship to family in colorado & virginia
dressed as clara from the nutcracker at ballet class saturday morning :) we're doing a special frozen ballet camp with good friend kinlee this friday- lucy's going to flip!
homemade ornaments for special grammas & aunties- we rolled these clear plastic balls in paint & sparkles...
then used the leftover paper to make ornament tags
sorry for the spoiler, family!
the girls & i spent sunday morning at my mom's, while our new kitchen appliances + bedroom furniture were delivered. eloise tried banana for the first time & LOVED it [despite the pictures' portrayal:)]
& lucy & meme made candy cane moon sand!
flour, baby oil, red sprinkles & peppermint oil
they built snowballs & it occupied my busy 2 year old for a good 30 minutes or more! now that's an impressive sensory experience!
hope you're enjoying the holidays as much as we are. i have to remind myself to slow down & enjoy in the midst of my long list of all that i have planned to make a memorable, special season for my family.
xoxo,
