We started off December by enjoying a parade in Hartsville. It was a pretty cold day, so we bundled Lorelei in her purple scarf and pink gloves. She was so thrilled to have a purple scarf like a snowman in a video she watches on You Tube.
I have a difficult time getting Lorelei to smile when I have her dressed up, so this is one of my favorite pictures. I just wish I had been able to get her juice from her.
Lorelei loves her Play-doh and Granny helped her with this project. They covered an ornament and Lorelei had fun stabbing it with her crayons to make it look "fantastic" as she has started saying.
Cousin Gabe came over for a visit to see the pigs! Lorelei is Gabe's shadow whenever he is around. He is definitely her favorite cousin. This picture was one of the few I could get of them together with the pigs because Lorelei kept running to them and they kept running away.
We attempted to take a family Christmas picture. This is not the one I chose for our Christmas card, but this picture describes how it was most of the time while trying to get the picture. Next time we need to try to get one a few hours before Lorelei's nap time.
I haven't gotten Christmas pictures on the computer yet, but Lorelei racked up. She woke up at quarter to five Christmas morning and noticed her new kitchen from Santa. She also got a new Little People's Pirate ship from Santa. She had many more presents, but I won't list them all. She loved opening presents (except for clothes) and still asks to open them. Rob got a metal detector (exactly what he asked for), a video game, a headlamp and dress pants for church. I got a GPS, which will definitely be needed when my mom and I drive to Nebraska next summer! I am glad Christmas is over, but not looking forward to starting school again. I have enjoyed my time off with Lorelei and I am not sure how things are going to go when the baby comes, but I think it will all work out!
