Three Months

12-28-08
Paige is 3 months today.


Eryn is 5.5 today.


A ride on the "green mule" to check on the "real mules." (according to Eryn)

Gingerbread Debacle

Eryn makes a Gingerbread House each Christmas and this year we turned it into a decorating party. Complete with gingerbread men pajamas!


Waiting with anticipation for the royal icing to dry.


Please be careful with all of those red sprinkles!


"Ohhhhh it's starting to lean!"


Paige couldn't handle the chaos. She had to hit the hay...in the 500 year-old bassinet of course!


A definate "crash and burn." The walls started to lean, and the roof came down!

Stay tuned...more Christmas pictures to come!

Zoo Run

We did the zoo run on Saturday. Well...I shouldn't say we, I should say Steven! Steven did the zoo run on Saturday. The girls and I were there of course, but it was very early, it was very cold, and the limo stroller was made for leisurely walks!
Eryn saw some kids run through the finish line and she is convinced she wants to go with Steven. It's difficult to explain distance to a 5 year old, but I think she's satisfied with doing the 1 mile fun run on the next race.

Jingle Bell Run

Paige finished her first race Saturday evening. She was a good passenger, as long as we were in constant motion!


A much needed nap; It was such hard work getting to the finish line!

The Next Food Network Star?

Watch out Paula, Ina, Giada, Rachael and Bobby! Eryn had all of her ingredients lined up and waiting to start the pumpkin bread. This is the third year she has helped me with this recipe, and she loves that each year she gets to "do more of the steps." I overheard her saying, "Sorry Paige, you will have to wait until you are 3 to help mom!"
Thank you for this recipe Mrs. C, it's our favorite!
