We decided to do some after-Christmas shopping at the Mall of America, so we thought Lilly might have a good time at Nickelodeon Universe on the rides. She seemed a bit apprehensive, but once she learned that she'd be riding Blue with daddy and saw all her favorite characters, she was excited. It was pretty sweet to watch :)
Christmas is here and boy did we have fun! Lilly had a good time, especially this year, because she was better able to understand opening presents. She was also able to spend some time with Auntie Mary and Sean, who came from Atlanta to visit.
This was our 2nd year of cutting down our own tree and we had fun! Since we forgot our camera last year, we were excited to take a lot of pictures, as you can see :) Lilly really enjoyed running around all the trees and seemed to get pretty involved with the twine that was to secure our tree to the car?!?
Lilly spent the day dressed in Halloween colors. We took a trip to Great-grandma's and to daddy's work where Lilly got lots of treats. Drew's coworkers were dressed as the Wizard of Oz and Lilly was pretty scared of daddy dressed like the lion :) At night, we dressed her as a monarch butterfly and went around the neighborhood to "tick-o-teat." Lilly had so much fun running in the street to each house and recieving candy (which her mom and dad later ate.)
We went to the pumpkin patch and were able to find a perfect sized pumpkin for Lilly. She really enjoyed running throughout the patch, even though she tripped on the vines multiple times.
