Lilly Kate is 11 Months

I swear yesterday she was a newborn... and now she is almost one! 

Look at that face, could you not just eat it up!!!

This little one is turning out to be just like everyone else in her family, a whole lot of personality! Her little grins and smiles light up the room and her happy demenor is contagious! You will know when she's happy and you will know when she is mad. Lilly is not a quite child by any means! She does get shy and puts up a nervous flirt but she loves other babies, loves to play and loves to be in the action. She doesn't growl as much anymore which makes me sad but now she does this intense razz when she is so excited she can hardly contain it!!

My dress is from Dear Lizzie, bracelets are from Forever 21, shoes are Kate Spade's that I found at the rack a few years ago

The girls dresses are from Cozette Couture, I made their bows and bracelets and Elsie's shoes are from Nordstoms

2013 so far....

The weather has been freezing and frigid, also I have been organizing and deep cleaning like crazy. This means we have been home a lot! We were getting cabin fever so I was time to go out!

We loved Kanagroo Zoo

And got our bowling on...

Staying in means this one has been playing with all the new christmas toys and perfecting her beauty routine! My love affair with Sephora is rubbing off on her!

We meet cousin Cole for the first time! What a cutie- love him already!

Christmas Eve morning we had breakfast at Grandma and Grandpas, decorated gingerbread trees, and watched movies

That night we went out to a special Christmas Eve dinner with my family

After dinner Sprite our Elf had left a going away gift

Christmas morning was the best! Elsie diligently wrote Santa and asked him for a Barbie Jeep. Lucky for her she was a good girl and he delivered! The look on her face was priceless!!

Lilly loved it all!!

Christmas night and Grandmas

We were all pretty tuckered out by the end of the night, but it was definitely a special, family filled christmas

New Years Eve we played salon and got all dolled up!

We had a full on feast at Morg's and Todd's with some friends

Prime Rib, Shrimp, Potoates, Salad, 3 appetizers, crepes, Ice Cream, the works. It was so fun and a great way to ring in the new year- great friends!

New Years day was spent sledding with cousins! It was the first time for both the girls and they loved it! Lilly tuckered out a little early but Elsie went on strong. She even ended up going down the huge hill all by herself!!
