Top of my “To Do List”

I love the decorations of the holiday season, the constant crafting that seems to go on, the yummy smells of dishes that are usually only made this time of year, and the joyous sounds of Christmas music making everything so merry and bright.

As I was forming my to do list today of all the things I need to get accomplished, my spirited two year old is sitting beside me being an absolute crack up that she is known to be. I decided I needed to stop for a moment and catch up on her.

I meant to post about her birthday (that happened back in August). I meant to mention how perfect a day it was. For Maine it was beautiful and warm, in the mid 70s, quite the contrast from my 60 degree-rainy-and-foggy birthday just 5 days before.

I made Abby Cadabby Cupckaes for her birthday. It was Phoebe’s birthday too so I made party hats for the both of them.

I love the joy of finding out her present was a new baby doll.

She was cracking everyone up with how every tear of the paper she would hand to me to throw it away – Grandpa Opp would be soooo proud!

I sure do love little Miss Mess - even if she is a handful! We wish we hadn't missed her birthday.
