a drawing

Kate received an art easel for Christmas. She has been quite a productive artist the past few days. She drew the above picture without any assistance. After she was done she told me she drew a man. This is her first drawing that actually looked like what she said it was!

week 16

I think Kate was trying to comfort Liz! Anyway, Kate is wearing snow pants because she went to the park with Daddy yesterday. It was quite cold out, but with her snow pants, coat, hat, and mittens, she kept warm enough. Liz has not been feeling good. She has been coughing and sneezing, sounds congested, and has a runny nose and a weepy eye! Poor girl. Hopefully, she is feeling better by Christmas.

a new tradition

Last night we drove around and looked at Christmas light displays.

Kate was having troubles seeing out of her window in the backseat, so Daddy let her sit in his lap. [Note: we did not drive all over Lincoln like this! It was only for a block.]

We told Kate we were going to Candy Cane Lane, a street in Lincoln where all the houses have candy cane cutouts decorated with lights in the yard. Kate was very confused. I think she envisioned a street similar to the game Candy Land. Confusion aside, I think we all had a good time. Hopefully, this is the start of a new tradition!

just for fun

the weekend

A few pictures from the weekend:

Celebrating Uncle Gabe's 21st birthday!

A family picture taken at the daycare Christmas party.

Kate showing off her gingerbread house. It is not decorated in the picture because as soon as she put candy on the house she decided to then take it off and eat it!

friday photos

Liz started spending time in the exersaucer. She requires lots of pillow and blankets for support and gets tired/frustrated after about 5 minutes. But, she really enjoys this new perspective.

Liz's other new trick is spitting! I also think she might be teething. It would be a little early, but between the constant drooling and hand chewing, I think she is working on something.

happy birthday

Happy Birthday, Gabe!

The cousins got together for a Christmas photo shoot over the weekend.

Not everyone wanted to cooperate.

There was lots of squirming.

There were some disagreements

But, we managed to get one good picture!

Kate decorated her Christmas tree. I had to bribe her with Skittles to get her to sit for a few pictures and even then, she still didn't keep her eyes open!

{Kate is going through a phase where she closes her eyes whenever I take her picture!}

If you can't read the chalkboard in the picture, Kate's letter to santa says:

Dear Santa,

Love, Kate

Kate loves puzzles. She can do every puzzle we have all by herself in a matter of minutes!

the weekend

Kate started the weekend with pink eye and an ear infection. But, it cleared up after a few doses of anitbiotics and the sisters were able to spend some quality time together.
