Little R's First Food

Little R has been very patiently waiting to get her turn to eat real food. This past Sunday I decided I had tortured her long enough and decided to give her some rice cereal.

She is a natural. She knew exactly what to do with the spoon and especially the food that's on it.

Granny and Little R

Too sweet. Don't worry, she did the same thing with Queen E when she was this little.

Christmas Cookies

Emorie really wanted to make Christmas cookies this year, as any 3 year old would. We made spritz cookies but we didn't decorate those so we made 4, yes 4, sugar cookies to decorate.

Christmas Ornaments

We made our own Christmas ornaments this year for two reasons:
1. It's really fun and I knew Queen E would really enjoy getting her hands into it and actually helping with the process.
b. Bear (our black cat) would knock off all of the glass ornaments, which in turn would encourage Queen E to take them off the tree and hold them, which could possibly lead to injuries.
whew, anyhow we made these awesome ornaments out of cinnamon (ground) apple sauce and glue.

As you can tell the Peanuts character that Queen E most closely resembles is Pigpin :)

PaPa and Little R had to help, too!
