Christmas eve! We make homemade pizzas and watch Christmas movies every Christmas eve, so that is what we did, even if Lillie couldn't eat any of the tastiness! :) And of course she had to be all nice and clean for Santa...so who doesn't get a sink bath on Christmas eve? lol What a great holiday this year to have her to spend it with! Do you have any family traditions you have started with your kids or passed on from your family?
Seriously...isn't this the cutest card you have EVER seen?!?! It is from Liam, and I just love it! It has to be hands down the cutest card we got this year! Thanks Liam, we LOVE IT! And thanks Mel for all of the cute ideas for my kids to do when they are older. hee hee
Christmas with the Maynards!! Christmas morning we got to spend with my parents, Jessica, Kylie and Sherman. My dad made our traditional Christmas breakfast casserole..I love that stuff! We all took turns opening presents..one at a time to see what everyone got. We were opening presents for over two hours! It was so much fun. I love that we have Lillie to share our traditions with and will continue with her and our future babies!! :) Christmas with the Jacksons next weekend! We are very much looking forward to it! :) I hope everyone had a great Christmas! We did!!!
A pretty Christmas Eve dusting! :) Today is Dan's last day at Edwardsville Police Department, he has been there for 6 years and had a lot of fun. Now it is time for him to start his career closer to home in Liberty and he begins that journey on Monday! We are so proud of you honey for changing your career for your family and to better yourself! You will have so much more fun at Liberty!! :)
Hee Hee! We took our little cutie to get her ears pierced today! My mom pierced me and my sissies ears at 6 weeks, so I just had to get hers done too! I am so glad we did, I love them! It is so funny how much it changed the way she looked. :) She did really good, cried for half a second then she was all smiles! I thought I was going to get the silent scream/what the hell are you letting them do to me stare!! Thank goodness we didn't! She sat in daddy's lap nicely and it was all over in a matter of seconds! 
I can't believe our little girl is 10 weeks old already! I remember the day we found we were pregnant, we were SO excited. It seems just like yesterday I was as big as a house, swollen and miserable, just wanting to be done with the pregnancy! lol She was so worth the wait. I love you Lillie Marie. Besides Daniel, you are the most wonderful thing to come into my life. And before I know it you will be 1 already, so I am cherishing my baby time with you! xoxo
Ava Marie Brown is here!! She was born on 12.14.10 at 12:08 pm weighing in at 9lbs and 4oz! I am SO sad we couldn't be there to see her!! January can't get her fast enough so we can make a trip and the cousins can meet and I can kiss my little nieces cheekies! Bette pictures coming later, this is just from my mom's iphone from the hospital. Congratulations Trish and Neb, we LOVE you guys SO much! xoxo
Ahhhhh, to be back on the sunny beaches of Okaloosa Island Florida. We are planning a trip in October 2011 so we can take our lovely Lille with us. I hope she likes it!! :) I would give anything to be on that beach right now....
Yeah Dan snapped this just 3 wee hours ago. I wonder where she gets sleeping with her hands above her head from? lol I am trying to start my habit now of posting one picture a day. Hopefully it works!
Such a cutie patootie! We can't believe she is two months already! She is becoming so aware of her surroundings, she follows you not only with her eyes but her head too. She is quite the talker, loves loves loves to talk! She is getting really good at holding her head up and gives us tons of smiles. She is such a love and even during her cranky times I wouldn't trade her for anything. I love you so much Lille Monster! I can't imagine how we lived without you!
A few photos of the Lillie Monster. The last two are from her newborn shoot, just love them! And the first one is of her a few weeks ago. I just love it too! She is always so silly on her changing table. We call it the happy table because for some reason she is always smiling up a storm and talking to us on it. It is so funny. :)
