Sunday afternoon

I had a chance to get some garden work done this weekend, so we decided to set the girls up in the old pool and let them entertain themselves for a little bit.

more birthdays!

It's been a couple of weeks since I've had a chance to post, and in that time we've had 2 doctor appointments, a round of lingering colds, a birthday party for our friend Samantha, my birthday, and our first snow of the season. Here are the stats from the girls' dr. appts: Lilly (at 15 months) weighs 22.5 lbs and is 31" tall; Maggie (at 3 years) weighs 35.5 lbs and is 39.25" tall.

Will and Maggie made me a giant cookie for my birthday...Maggie was in charge of the sprinkles!

last night it snowed for the first time this season...Maggie was a little disappointed this morning that it wasn't enough to build a snowman

Maggie's 3rd birthday

Saturday was Maggie's 3rd birthday, full of hot dogs, mac & cheese, and cupcakes (and Pez, the only present Maggie asked for)! Unfortunately, family illnesses prevented our friends from coming over, but we had a good time with Grandmama & Granddad.

this was the first year that Maggie didn't cry when we sang "Happy Birthday"

Weebles!!

Pez!!!!!

last week, Maggie received a package from Aunt Katie w/ some fantastic handmade "crowns" and magic wands...a bit hit!

last week I snapped some candid photos of Lilly sharing her Cheerios with Lexi...

but once she saw me with the camera, she had to come over and ham it up
