Getting ready for the new year

With some left over felt and some sequins we whipped up a little Happy New Year Banner. It's so nice to find uses for scraps of stuff:) Lola really was into it. She likes the nights she can stay up as late as she wants. Oh, and notice the hat? Well, that's her 'adventure girl' hat. She puts it on and has adventures with her chipmunk toys. 

Zoo lights!

For Christmas, Grammy gave us passes to the zoo. So we took advantage of them right away by heading over to Zoo lights. It was very lovely, but freezing. We even convinced the bubbas to come along who didn't complain about the cold once:) Afterwards we made some hot chocolate with marshmallows to warm up our frozen fingers. "YOU know mom, I think you can put marshmallows in hot chocolate..." Where does she get this stuff.

Trying her new princess baking set

Baking is always fun and add some Princess spoons and spatulas that's just icing on the cake... :) Why do the baking box sets always come with the worst mixes? We were both disappointed with the cakes, not the making the mess part, mind you. But I guess there's good news in making everything from scratch around our house, Lola notices what's good and wants junk.

Thanks for the new hair supplies!

What a cool gift! Lola received a build your own hair clip set from her Aunt Brandy. It was so fun to match the flowers and sequins. She loved wearing the giant flower one.

Thanks for my new dress!

Lola always could use clothes, what growing girl doesn't ? She especially loves dresses so her gift from Uncle Brian and Aunt GiGi was absolutely perfect. She is quite the fashionista..
