Snow Much Fun

Libby decided she wanted to go play in the snow today. We lasted about 15 minutes, but it was a fun time. I'm glad that I took some video because Libby was upset about how cold she was and calmed down immediately when she saw the video playing.

Just Playing

 

 

 

 

Libby is playing with her "cave" and mommy is playing with her camera. Just trying it all out. By the way, Libby did have clothes on most of the day. She has this thing about NOT wearing clothes. Don't ask. I'm constantly putting her clothes back on her. Anyway, she isn't freezing to death or anything and they just came off a few minutes before these pictures were taken. :)

Christmas 2007

We decided that this year we would have Christmas a little early with all the hubbub of the baby and all. We decided that it wouldn't be fair to Libby to have to wait for everyone to leave to do our family Christmas and we also didn't think it would be fair to either of the grandparents to do our Christmas with one or the other set.

So, we started out with cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Libby was such a big girl that she set the table all by herself...milk included. Then we read the Christmas story and opened our presents. Libby got some really cool presents from both mommy and daddy AND Aunt Judy. Libby was glad to get her baby doll from Judy so that she can be a great mommy to her own baby when her sister comes along. She's even helped mommy change her diaper already. She thought her tunnel was SO cool. She calls it her "cave" and decided that it was a good spot to take her nap this afternoon. Daddy got a new Bible with all kinds of neat features. I think that mommy will be stealing it for studying some too. :)

Then, we went to get Libby's picture taken with Santa Claus and daddy needed to buy mommy's gift still. He knew what he wanted to buy her, but he wanted her final approval before he bought it. So, we came home with an awesome new digital camera...in time for Grace's birth even! Yea!! Now I just have to figure out how to use the crazy thing. I can't believe how much better the quality is on this one than our old one, but what can you expect when the old one is almost seven years old. Sadly, seven years ago that camera was probably nicer than this one is now. How crazy technology is. It improves so fast. Anyway, enough about the camera.

After that we came home and had lunch (nothing too fancy...grilled cheese sandwiches) and then took a nice nap. Now we are cleaning up and putting out the final touches for Grace to come home to. Three more days until she is due. Wow! Who knows how long it will actually be before she's here though. I had Chris take a picture of my pregnant belly too just because you couldn't see it in any of the other pictures.

Feeding Time

About a year ago I posted about my daughter eating cereal with her toes. Well, now we've evolved into a little bit more civilized method of feeding others. Libby was having fun feeding her daddy cheese crackers and I just had to get a picture of it.

Snoopy!

For some reason Libby has decided that this is her "Snoopy Dress"...not only that, it's her FAVORITE dress. Therefore, almost every Sunday this is what we wear to church. No other dress is good enough for Libby. The phases kids go through. I figure since it's cold outside, I'm not going to fight this one too much. You know what they say...choose your battles.

Frustrated

How can you be frustrated with your 2 1/2 year old when you ask her what's wrong and she says, "You're frustratin' me!"? Seriously, what two year old knows that word, let alone what it means.

Pretty Girl

Here's a pretty picture of Libby Lynn. I thought everyone would like to see the "posed" side of her too since I usually show off her silliness. So, here's my pretty girl.

7 Things About Me

Ok, I was tagged by Alexis, so here goes:

1.) I went on a mission's trip, by myself, when I was 12 years old. It was the first time EVER that I was by myself without ANYONE I knew. My parents loaded me up on an airplane (this was pre-9/11 and it was my choice to go) and that was it. Luckily my mission's trip was in Florida and Tennessee so when I finally started freaking out (two weeks into the 4 week trip) mom and dad came down to visit me.

2.) I was 10 years old when my little sister was born. I loved being her "second mommy". I even had one person ask if I was her mommy when I was pushing her around the neighborhood in her stroller...uh, no!

3.) When I was like 5 or 6 I drew a green star as high as I could on the wall. When mom asked who did it I blamed Stephanie, who was only 3 or 4 at the time and wasn't quite as tall as I was. Yeah, I got in trouble for drawing on the wall and for lying.

4.) As clumsy as I am, I have amazingly never broken a bone.

5.) When I was like 4 or 5 (mom, do you remember how old I was?) I stuck my finger down a small chip in the back of a toilet at church and cut my finger really badly. I wanted to see what was down there, so I reached in with my longest finger. It just didn't work well at all though. :) In the end, the church put duct tape over the hole and didn't replace the lid for like another 10 years.

6.) In the 4th grade my teacher had an auction for our classroom. We all had "money" that we had earned for good behavior and grades and the like. Anyway, there was a president's poster that I wanted desperately. So, I waited and waited...and waited for this poster go up on the block, not bidding on ANYTHING else (because I might have some competition on that one). Finally, after 3/4 of the things were gone, the teacher asked exactly what I was waiting for. So, I got my poster...and had lots of money left over with all the people I had to outbid to get my precious poster.

7.) Two of my best friends and I all went to the 3rd grade classroom for reading class when we were in the 1st grade.

Ok, now I get to tag five people.

Scrooge

Chris and I were discussing when we should have "our" Christmas with all of the hubbub of the baby coming and visitors coming and going this month. I was saying we should do it early and Chris thought we should do it later. One of my points of argument was that I had already done all of my shopping and that Chris wasn't buying anything anyway. When I said that Libby started to cry. It took me ten minutes to calm her down and help her to understand that mommy buys the presents and daddy pays for them...the only present he actually buys is mine, and this year, I think I'm getting a baby for my present. We finally got her to understand that she was still getting presents even if daddy doesn't do the shopping.
