Eliza's 1/2 Birthday at preschool

Eliza had her half birthday at preschool since she's a July birthday. She decided that she wanted to take donuts for a treat and I surprised her and also took Squeez-its, she LOVES them. I took two of her scrapbooks and talked all about her and how much we LOVE having her in our family. She loved every minute of it, she loves seeing and hearing about herself as a baby. One of her favorite things to do it to look at her scrapbooks. She'll look at them over and over if I let her. It was fun to see her so excited! Love you like crazy Lizey Lou!!

In this bottom picture Eliza is giving me her totally silly give me a kiss face, I adore this sweet little face of hers! It never fails in making me smile!

This year for New Year's Eve we kept it pretty simple and just stayed home. I bought a party kit and some sparkling cider and the kids were in heaven! Blake wasn't so much though, the kids were blowing the horns well before midnight. He was a good sport though and let them have their fun, headache and all. All three of them even stayed awake to see the Times Square ball drop. It was about 1 a.m. before they winded down and finally fell asleep.
