December Update

As we begin to wrap up another year, I continued to be amazed by the growth and development of my baby girl. She is the kindest, funny and has a beautiful outlook. I am looking forward to spending the holidays and capturing these special times in her life.

12/3 - Tanith had an early X-mas play date with Alyssa and they looked simply adorable in their matching unicorn jackets. Always so much fun hangout with the Bischof family and cannot believe Alyssa's daddy and I have been friends since grade school.




12/5: Making pizza for Elyse's 6th birthday






Dec 10 - China Girls Holiday Party
The girls and parents had so much fun. Great food, the girls challenged the parents to a bag toss game and made snowman ornaments. Every time these girls get together we see such differences.







Tradition - Hanukkah cookie making time!




Photo ops of the month



Christmas Eve 2016











So this year we did not put up the tree, only because the house was upside down with trying to get things cleaned up. No tree, no problem...Tanith made her own version of Christmas so that Santa would know where to leave her gift. She even had a gift for him and was soooo excited that he ate the candy she left for him, took the note and flower (gift) with him.

Christmas Day - Tanith slept in until 10am and did not even ask about going to see what gifts Santa brought her until noon...only my little girl!  Only opened two gifts in the morning and the rest when her daddy got home from work.  Big gifts of the year were her "real-like" kitten and motorized scooter. 




Motorized scooter goes 10 miles per hour and took some getting used to...mommy even tried it out.  It does move pretty fast, but she mastered the scooter very fast and only fell once. During her fall, she did manage to rip her pants and bang up her knee...but that did not stop her from having fun...she actually did not realize she hurt herself until we pointed it out. Next time out, pads will be required!





 Happy Hanukkah
