Happy Thanksgiving!

"Praise the Lord!  O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever."  Psalm 106:1

Santa Claus is Coming!

She said she was going to do it and she did!  A little uncertain, she sat with Santa and informed him that she would like some new baby dolls for Christmas. 

She also enjoyed her first Candy-Cane afterwards.   Thanks Santa!

Baking up Holiday Fun

With Thanksgiving just days away, Lily Grace and I have already started preparing for Christmas. Today, we made applesauce and cinnamon dough to cut out gingerbread men for our Christmas tree. Lily Grace loved it! We had a wonderful time. I think I had just as much fun watching her explore with the ingredients and create her own little recipe. Through all the cinnamon, we did manage to cut out 12 gingerbread men and can't wait for them to dry so we can decorate them.

Making a big mess can be so much fun when you're little. And as a mommy, being a part of the mess is fun too. In fact, cleaning up from this fun mess felt like no big deal and definitely worth it!
