Family Birthday Party!

She just blew out her candle

Granna (Kevs Mom) made her Tinkerbell cake too.

So Lily had a great second birthday. She had her family party on Sunday Jan 23rd which we had a tinkerbell theme party. I put together 36 flower puff balls made out of tissue paper which took forever but lily went "wow" when she saw them hanging from the top. She had a great time and we had lots of good food. We also had her friends party at Little Bears Indoor Playground in Kennesaw. She had 14 of her friends there. She had blast. I was so excited to see one of my friends who I knew when I was Lilys age and she has a little girl that is the same age as Lily too. She was having a blast running through the bubbles and screaming. We have lots of good video and pictures of her. I could not have had a bigger smile on my face when we left there because of how much fun she had. Lily sat with all the little kids at the table and ate her pizza and cupcakes which mommy made a mistake and got "red" icing so it kinda stained lilys hands and the other kids but it did come off in the bathtub. Anyway We had a great time and I am grateful to have such wonderful friends myself to have shared it with and their children to share it with Lily.

Christmas 2010

Looking at her gifts

Seeing her gifts from santa

Letting the dogs in the back door

Christmas at the Hammitt House

So Christmas was wonderful this year. Having family and friends is a truly blessed feeling. It was a beautiful white Christmas this year which Lily just loved. We got lots of video of her playing in the snow. Santa came with lots of gifts in which lily loved too. We got to have family over on Christmas Eve and I cooked my very first Ham in which it was really good I must say. We got to go to Aunt Amys the next morning and eat breakfast and enjoy family time. It's all about family to me, without family I think things are sometimes impossible. Family is about support and love. We did not get to go to kevins side that afternoon because the snow was coming down pretty hard and we did not want to drive on the roads to Summerville. We did however get to go the next day and enjoy Christmas with them. Christmas day night we ordered a pizza !:) the fun of not having very many groceries in your house and at last minute things not going to plan. I felt bad the the delivery guy as he slipped up our driveway when I asked him if it was bad out there.. Sorry :)

Overall it was a great Holiday and many more holidays to come. Our time has been spent with kevin being off is trying to spend as much time together as possible and building warm fires to sit by.

Dear Lily:

I hope that you had the best Christmas ever. Your face was priceless once you got awake and looked at all of your presents. I cannot beleive that you are about to be 2.. Time is going by so fast and you are starting to become a little girl of your own. I hope that you have all that you want in this world with family, love and as many things mommy and daddy can offer to you.

I love you bugster.

love mommy .

Hey there little one. Mommy has been very bad not updating your blog so here I go. There has been so much going on with you since I last posted. You are a bundle of joy and might I add a little hotty totty attitude.. You are very quick to say "no" which in my opinion is your favorite word. Lily, you wanna go to the potty or go pee pee on the potty, "no" you say.. Oh well.. Its very cold right now and daddy is actually out of school today because in GA when the roads have once ounce of ice on them we shut down. :) You are growing so fast and learning so many new things. You can say your ABC's all the way through.. Some of the letters might not sound like them but you sure do try. You are putting words together which is always nice but I know you will get more comfortable with that as time goes on. Daddy and I cannot wait till christmas. We went kinda overboard, but we could just not stop. You love "da-ka" santa of course. I dont know how santa came out "da-ka" but it did.. I let you try a hot dog for the first time the other day and you loved it. Don't get used to it because they are filled with sodium :) Your hair is getting so long well it's still short but its getting longer. I am so excited for your 2nd bdays to come up. Tinkerbell is going to be your family theme and Minnie mouse is going to be the friends theme. You were sick a little while ago with RSV and then you got mommy and daddy sick. You had to go on breathing treatments which they are not the best in the world to give you but you had to have them. A funny story: we were riding back from Ross in Hiram and we stopped to get chic-fila with gammi. On our way back you decided that you were going to puncture the side of your cup with the straw and it started to go everywhere. I grabbed it and therefore it got all over me. It looked like I had an accident along with your pants too. Luckily we did not have to go anywhere after that. You told me "sorry" and looked down because I told you no> It was okay because I laugh about it now and did a little in the car after I got dry. You are on the "UP" movie kick. You bring me the PS3 controller and say "doug-y" we have probably watched it about 13 times this week along with all the other movies that you have. Baby girl we love you.

love mommy and daddy.

Halloween 2010

So this is not a letter to lily but to let everyone know what she has been up to.

We had our first halloween kids party here & I think it went great. She was a sock hop girl in which her Great Nana made her skirt. We tried some cosutomes but she just was not feeling it so I thought hmm the outfit would be like what she wears regularly. We invited lots of people and we had all come but 3 people who were actually supposed to come but got caught up else where. :( We had lots of fun. We had an air bouncer in which Lily of course did not want to go in but pretty much all the other kids went in. We had a little pumpkin painting station too. It was a pot luck which all the food was wonderful. Here are a few pictures of the party. Hope everyone had a great time and we look forward to other years with parties like that.

20 Months & More

  So we cannot believe lily is getting so old.. Its bittersweet. She is growing every day and learning new words left and right. Kevin starts basketball soon so he will not get to see her very much which is sad too. She is so excited when he gets home in the afternoons and runs straight to the freezer for ice cream.. She knows that they share some on days . She is very demanding little boooger.. She knows what she wants and she knows how to get it. I would have to say that she is a very spoiled little girl :)

  
  
  
  
  

  Some of her words are:

  Mommy

  Happy
