Happy 30th Birthday Stephen- Welcome Princess Kitty

Today's post was going to be a picture of Stephen celebrating his 30th birthday. However, he has a stomach virus and isn't in the mood for pictures. Lydia went to go to Build-a-Bear today with her gift certificate from Santa and made Princess Kitty. Therefore, Princess Kitty is in the picture and Stephen will be as soon as he is feeling like celebrating his birthday.

Christmas Morning

Santa Claus brought lots of gifts for Lydia and Seth. Lydia's favorites were a baby doll, baby clothes, a gift certificate to go to build-a-bear, and a doctor set. Seth's favorites were a golf set, a music set, an Elmo ball, and a Barney doll.

Christmas Eve

COOKIES FOR SANTA

Lydia carefully planned a snack of cookies and a candy cane for Santa and carrots for the reindeer. Seth could not understand why she would put cookies on a plate and show him but not let him eat any.

GIFT FOR MOM

Lydia painted me a piggy bank for Christmas. She even gave me one of her dollars to put in it.

Gifts from Nana and Papa

Christmas with Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Bryan

Grandma redecorated the dollhouse that she had when she was Lydia's age and gave it to Lydia for Christmas along with new dollhouse furniture.

Seth loved his new truck full of blocks!

What a beautiful princess!

We went on a carriage ride through a local parks lights display this evening. We forgot the camera, but it was a lot of fun.

Check Out My New Crib

We had gotten our money's worth out of the $15 garage sale crib we bought five years ago. We bought a new one last night and put it together today. He was not happy when we had him try it out. He thought we were putting him to bed.

It's a beautiful day in our house!

How long do you think her enthusiasm for washing dishes will last???

Does he look sick?

We knew Seth was a little sick, but we were surprised when we took him to the doctor today and found out both of his ears are infected, his throat is infected, and he has a stomach virus.

Lydia's Gingerbread House

Lydia made a gingerbread house at Tyler's house, her friend next door, this evening.

Earlier today we went to the Christmas play at the Amish school where Lydia's old babysitter is the teacher and some of her friends are in the class. They did songs and skits invited us for snacks at their house afterward.

Train Ride with Santa Claus

We went on a train ride with Santa Claus this afternoon. Lydia asked Santa for a baby doll. Seth was too afraid to sit on Santa's lap but enjoyed riding the train.

Lydia's Christmas Play

Lydia was an angel in this year's preschool Christmas play. She loved singing the Christmas songs with her friends.
