An electricifying playdate

I couldn't but stick these in her. You can obviously tell that these girls belong to Jen and I simply by looking at the magazines they get excited over. This one was Kohl's and by the look on her face, Kate obviously found a good deal!Julia likes to help Kate turn the pages

The girls have gone crazy!! We couldn't resist but getting some pictures of the newest hair do. They crack me up!!!

Family Holiday Activities

Technically last Christmas was Julia's first but honestly, the kid was only 2 days old!! This year has been a lot more eventful for her. Dustin and I let her help us decorate the Christmas tree. It actually went more like Julia pulled (threw) every ornament out of the bin onto the ground and then went and continously tried to climb up the tree. That day she learned how to climb up the stairs so apparently she thinks she is a monkey now. We had a lot of fun and it was nice having time for the 3 of us to enjoy a new family tradition. It is going to be really exciting watching her open her Christmas gifts this year!!

After decorating the tree, Julia and I sat down for her first "art project". Our school asked us to create and decorate a family Christmas tree for a bulletin board project. We decided it would be fun to use Julia's handprints and finger prints to decorate it. It was a blast. She giggled everytime the brush went across her hand and even more when I kept pulling her hand away when she wanted to lick the paint. Good thing it was nontoxic!! It will definately be a keepsake.
