Thanksgiving 2010

We had a great thanksgiving in Pittsburgh. Lily loved cooking thanksgiving dinner (although she ate fish sticks and broccoli instead of turkey). While she didn't like eating stuffing, she did like stirring it!

"Grammy and I are making stuffing in our matching aprons!"

"Aunt Rachel and I love to play dress up."

Winter Hats

While it has not yet gotten that cold here in Maryland, we are headed to Pittsburgh for Thanksgiving and it is supposed to be on the chilly side. As we are packing, we went looking for our winter hats. Lily found hers and wanted to wear it the other day. Here she is modeling both of her hats.

The Puppet Show

Each week during Lily's gym class, they do a puppet show for the kids. Today, Lily decided to put on a puppet show and dance for us.

Compromise

Today Lily was coloring with markers and wanted to color her arms. I said no. After much "discussion" I let her color her palms. It washed off... mostly.

"I want to try again."

This weekend Aunt Rachel and Uncle Steve came to visit. Lily has a super fun time playing with them. Yesterday we went bowling. Lily really enjoyed it, and although she was not cooperative in taking pictures, I was able to sneak in this video.

Halloween, Take 2

Yesterday we painted the 5 remaining pumpkins. Here is a picture of Lily the pumpkin painter:

"As everyone knows, I LOVE to paint!"

The (first) finished product

Tonight we went to our friends Stacy and Neil's for pizza and to trick or treat in their cul de sac with Sadie, Sara, and David. Here is a picture of our little trick or treater in her Minnie Mouse costume.

"I'm Minnie!"

"I've got my glow jewelry, I've got my pink pumpkin, I'm all ready for trick or treating!"

"Trick or treat! Thank you!"

Halloween, Take 1

Today was the Halloween party at Lily's school. Everyone wore their costumes, then they had a parade, and of course there were cupcakes!

Room 2B in their costumes.

Cupcake frosting on the tongue!

When we got home, we decorated one of Lily's 6 pumpkins with a "Mrs. Potato Head" style pumpkin decorating kit.

"Look at my cute princess pumpkin!"
