a little home haircut

while at work on monday, i get a text message from kevin with the following photos.  lily decided to take her scissors and cut a chunk of hair out.  it's not really noticeable, and the photos look worse than it really is, but i had a mini-crisis heart attack at my desk when i saw the photos.  oh, man. the good news is that lily was so upset at what happened that i don't think we'll experience any self-haircuts again.  

play date

lily had a couple little friends over to play the other day.  these girls love being together and have so much fun.  i can't wait to watch them grow up through the years.

lily decided they needed cookies and apple juice for "tea time."
she's quite the hostess.

they ran around calling each other elsa and anna.
dress-up and imagination is an amazing thing.

grandma & grandpa are here!

my dad had a training class in richmond the other day, so my parents made a little weekend out of the trip to visit us since they would be so close.  lily was heaven.  she had grandma & grandpa's complete, undivided attention, and was pretty spoiled the whole time.  

we were able to have a mini-celebration, since my parents were here on the anniversary of their first date 40 years ago.  we had some "fancy beverage" hanging around from new year's and lily spent dinner "clinking" and doing "cheers" with grandma.  it's weird to think that if that first date hadn't gone well, this past weekend wouldn't have happened.  

making necklaces for grandma, grandpa, & lily.
no bling for mama & daddy.  :-(

lily fell asleep during story time
