Doing some Christmas baking.

We’re doing some Christmas baking today and Lily is helping out. That’s actually powdered sugar in the photo, not flower. And more than a little made it into her mouth; among all the other places that it ended up!

Waconia Christmas Lights House Spectacular

For years, there has been a house, a few miles from ours, that celebrates Christmas big time. And we never knew about it until this year. The house has over 150,000 LED Christmas lights and they are all programmed to music. This makes me think I need more lights on my house! If you want […]

Protecting the Christmas tree from Lily & the cats

Christmas is a fun time of the year, but having a little girl pulling ornaments off the tree, or taking it down, isn’t one of the fun parts.

Starting Lily off early on Wii Fit.

It’s never to young to start exercising right? That’s why Lily’s been on Wii Fit from a very early age. Ok, so she doesn’t do anything on it other than get weighed. It’s actually a good way to track her weight progress over the months. You see, with Wii Fit Plus you have the ability […]

Surviving Halloween and the sugar overload.

Last night was Lily’s first Halloween where she dressed up and went trick or treating; her second overall. The first place we went was the grocery store. Each department hands out some sort of goodie and we got string cheese, an apple, banana, teddy grams, pop and even a VHS video. No candy though at […]
