In Review: Rebekah Turns 3

Rebekah's Birthday was a complete success! Even all these months later I still can't believe how big she is getting! She reminds me constantly that she is not my baby. I just can't help it-- she IS my baby! She is an absolute delight and has found more independence in her 3 year old self. It has been fun (sometimes) to see her opinionated ideas present themselves and help her learn to control herself. We wouldn't trade Rebekah for anything!!Dora Cupcakes:

Getting ready for the friends . . .

Filling the Pinata before the party . . .


With some of our friends: Going on our hunt for the pinata Swiper stole. Somehow the picture of us making our binoculars didn't make this post ;) And I was so busy working out the pinata line, I neglected to take any photos of us at the pinata either!


Opening Presents-- Big Brother ALWAYS ready to help!


Enjoying our cupcakes and Ice Cream! Mmmm.


It took some practice, but she can finally put up three fingers when people ask! This was really the first time I had asked her to show me three fingers and it was something she had to work at for a few weeks before she figured it out!

In Review: Christmas Season 2010


Decorating the little tree-- eventually this made it outside to our porch, the kids LOVED having a miniature tree last year!


Decorating the big tree-- or rather admiring the work once it was complete!


Treats for our friends. We took these out and caroled to our friends the week before Christmas. I love this memory--My kids are too cute!!


Decorating the gingerbread house!


The only snowstorm before Christmas! It was a good thing I let them go out and play because it melted in just a few hours and it didn't snow again for weeks!


After Santa dropped off his haul !

Rebekah digging into her stocking early Christmas morning!





Cookies and Chocolate milk we left for Santa-- these are so out of order! Wow I can't remember how blogger works at all!

Opening some gifts:









Going out to the park to try out the scooter!





Rebekah taking the responsibility of two babies very seriously!


Later: Dismantling the Gingerbread House!

And THEN the snow came! Here is my adorable little snow-shoveler!
