NYC

We had a great time in NYC. Don't have as many pictures as I would have liked...too much stuff to schlep around to bring the big huge camera. Hopefully Lynn will send her pictures soon...hint, hint.

Here we are at the Disney Store. She just kept reaching for more and more Mickey's. Of course, the Minnie ears were necessary.
At the tree were we took ALOT of pictures...

Hanukkah gifts

Sydney really got into Hanukkah this year. She LOVED opening up her gifts. Here are a few of her favorites.

A shopping cart that she fills w/ new stuffed animals and babies.

Her Minnie robe, that she refuses to take off after bath time.
Her new Minnie doll that came w/ a rolling bag. Minnie is obviously a new favorite.
Of course she still loves Dora and her new Dora PJ's. A rare sleeping shot.

Happy Holidays everyone!!!

Grandma came to visit

Last week my mom came to visit. Here are some photos from her few days here.

More random pics

Not too much happening w/ Mike gone last week, and Thanksgiving too big of an event to think about trying to take pictures (over 60 people). So here are a few random shots from the last week.

This was before we headed to Coach's house for our big Thanksgiving feast. Her favorite items were the cranberry, which she helped make, and of course, cupcakes!

This was just some fun playing w/ the strainers. As always, half dressed.

Random pics

Here is Sydney really enjoying a cupcake for the first time.

This is one of the first of MANY times Sydney will be seen walking around in my shoes.

She thinks it's really funny!!

This is her supermodel pose.

Now that I'm looking at the pictures...she's half dressed in all of them. : ) Guess I can't keep clothes on my kid.
