Holiday Season Update

Lily...our precious gift among gifts


Christmas Eve 2008


Sometimes life seems so mundane, it is hard to think of captivating things to write. However, I wanted to include some new photos taken and share some recent favorites of Lily.

Favorite Books: I Love You Forever (which by the way..I can't stand:)) and the Foot book by Dr. Seuss. I think we read these two books at least every day sometimes at both nap and bedtime.

Favorite Foods: Yogurt and Granola Bars with Chocolate Chips

Favorite Activities: Loves to sing and dance. She also likes to rock out with her guitar when her daddy is rocking out. I love watching her sing into her "microphone" (the antenna of an old CD boom box) while rocking her little body out, occasionally with her hot pink guitar in hand.

She loves to pretend to be a cat....most days she is a gato (cat in Spanish) named Lily....she meows, purrs, etc... Mommy indulges her fantasy, and Daddy tolerates it!

Spanish is becoming less and less of her vocabulary...we are bringing in a new person next week to speak Spanish to her, so hopefully it will help. Whenever I speak to her in Spanish she answers me in English...it still bothers me, but I feel like I am fighting a losing battle some days.

Lily has enjoyed the Christmas season even if she didn't get all of it! She loves Santa Claus. Every time she sees him now she exclaims "Santa Claus". She loves to sing the songs Rumbbabumbum, Jingle Bells, and Santa Claus is Coming to Town. We have tried to make sure she is aware that Jesus is the reason for the holiday with a birthday party for Jesus on Christmas Eve and reading the children's version of Luke 2 on Christmas morning.
