Nora and Lipstick

This girl had an obsession with getting into my makeup to get my lipstick for the longest time! Doesn't she look fabulous?

Christmas Day 2015!

Wow, I am finally getting to getting Christmas on here! It was a pretty fun day! It was fun having our first Christmas in our new house. Here is the day in pictures:

Coming down the stairs, full of excitement, to see what Santa brought!
 
Playing with our new fun things!
 
The post-Christmas morning mess:
Mylie was so happy to get some cute Bitty Twins!  
The Little People Princess Castle was a winner...and still is to this day!  
And oh my, what a surprise! Bennett got a Double-Shot!! This gift is still going strong! Bennett's high score as of today is 175. Russ is still trying to beat it!
Later on we had our gift exchange at my parents'.
The White Elephant Left Right game got us all laughing so hard we were crying. Looks like Patrick couldn't wait to try on his new gift!  
We wrapped the night up back at home. We took some pictures, then watched a movie together...I fell asleep though.

Christmas Eve 2015

On Christmas Eve this year, we stayed home. I cooked a nice turkey dinner and my parents came over to share it with us. We shared some music together, watched a Christmas video, then the kids opened their new Christmas pajamas.

Nora's 2nd Birthday!

Back in December of 2015, my baby girl turned two years old. She has been such a fun addition to our family. We sure love our little, spunky Nora. The other kids dote on her and love to take care her and play with her. She is a funny girl that know just how to push your buttons. At two, she was quite the little talker. She loved babies and princess shoes. She cannot leave a scab alone, and had this nasty owie on her nose for over a month because she couldn't stop scratching the scab off! Her favorite color is purple, and she wanted a purple cake. She was a pretty picky eater at the time, but loves all things in the dairy group: milk, cheese, cottage cheese, and yogurt. She usually loves macaroni and cheese, so for her birthday we took her to Noodles & Company thinking she would love the mac & cheese. Since it was different than your regular old Kraft, she wouldn't touch it and didn't eat a thing there. Kind of a let down birthday dinner!

Here are the photos from the day!

 
I was very pleased with how her cake turned out. It was a cute one!  
Sweet Mylie helped me make all the pompoms for the water bottles. It was fun :)
