A Dollhouse from Santa

Santa's helpers were very busy this year building a special purple dollhouse for Lia for Christmas.  It's huge!  It's girly!  It's a very special gift for a special girl.  Merry Christmas, Lia!!

More funny things that Lia said

Mom, can we have Sand Boogers (Hamburgers) for lunch?

Mom, my mouth is too small for this piece of food.  Can you eat it?  (Just call me big mouth)

I can open all of Owen's Christmas presents because he's too little!

We're going to a Cracker Nut (the Nutcracker)!

'Mom, I love you so much'.   Me- Ahh, I love you to Sweetie.  A few minutes later- 'I love this bowl so much'!  I see.

Photo Shoot!

My sister Michelle takes the most amazing pictures.  If you remember, she took a bunch of black and whites of Lia at 3 weeks old.  Well, here is Owen's first photo shoot.  Very precious and sweet. And Monkey enjoyed his chance to lick baby toes. Thanks Michelle!  I will cherish these forever!

Lia-isms:  Funny things my daughter has said recently,

While combing my hair Lia says 'I'm brushing the nuts (knots) out!'

'I paint so hard I have to rest my body!'

'I'm tickling the raisins so they come out (of the box).'

'Mom, can you keep my treat company until I'm ready to eat it?'

Lia- 'I'm making a carnip pie.'  Me- Um, what's a carnip?  Lia- 'Caramel and turnip!'  Me- Oh, yum.

Lia- 'Here's a sprinkler with cake on top.'  Me- hmm, that sounds interesting.  I've had cake with sprinkles on top but never a sprinkler with cake on it...!

Lia fell off the stool in the kitchen (she didn't get hurt) and immediately got up and said 'Mom, we need to go to the store and buy a new stool.  This one is no good'.

Vroom Vroom!

If I had a motorcycle, I'd vroom vroom to Colorado!
