My Gramma turned 90 this week. The ladies and I traveled with my mom to help celebrate her special day last week. We had a special dinner at her house Saturday night with family and an amazing friend to her (Helen). On Sunday we all woke up and went to church. Yikes..., me and church do not mix well. The last time I was there was for my Grandpa's service. The girls did great while the congregation sang Happy Birthday to Solveig! Once the sermon started the girls and I moved to the back of the church to play with leggos and wait for Mimi and Nana. After the service we had cake and coffee for her. Piper and Maysie loved running around with their sparkle shoes and the balloons...But above all we are so grateful to have Mimi in our lives to celebrate her special day.

I am beside myself at the fact that my sweet baby has now turned 2. Maysie is now speaking in whole sentences and she uses the potty. What the heck?? Her big sis Piper loves to hug and kiss her and if Maysie needs to cuddle she first runs to me and then Piper. She yells "Piper, kisses sister"! Loving it! Every moment! Happy Birthday Maysie, we all love you so much!

Counting down...

My mornings are so perfect waking up and seeing her and Piper hold hands walking down the stairs....life is perfect!

Meeting Curious George

Maysie kept a safe distance

A couple weeks ago they opened up a new exhibit at the Boston Childrens Museum. Since we are members we were allowed to come a day earlier than it was open to the public. Both ladies are SERIOUS Curious George fans, so we packed up the ladies and my mom to check it out. It was amazing! The ladies loved it. They also had a meet and greet room with some of the PBS characters which included Peep, Arthur and Curious George. Piper was a little nervous at first, but then decided that she wanted to draw him a picture before she met him. The BCM had tons of markers and paper available, so she got started. Maysie on the other hand wanted nothing to do with the giant characters. As you can see from the picture, she kept a very safe distance. Piper ended up giving Curious George a couple of drawings, gave him a high five and then a little bitty hug. It was great.

My sweet little girls have decided that they love picnics! With the temperature being 20 degrees outside, we have had to accommodate this indoors. When we get home after work/school Piper takes out the blanket and lays it out on the floor. Maysie gets their milk, and I bring over dinner. I bring the Mac over and Piper decides on the DVD they are going to watch. She is always very kind to Maysie picking Elmo or the Polar Express which is a new favorite of both. My job is to keep the dogs from stampeding the picnic, as they still feel like anything on the floor is fair game!

Catching up with Piper

Piper is such a sweet little girl. I cannot believe what an amazing person she is. She LOVES her little sister and making people giggle. She asks me to snuggle with her and loves to be held. She has opened her eyes to so many new foods, loving tufu, egg salad, beans and bacon! At night her and Brian have a routine where he will read her 5 books or tell her stories, in the dark with a flashlight. She loves Ariel and hates witches. However, she watched Snow White and said she wasn't scared. She encourages Maysie to use the potty and reminds me to give her a jellybean if she is successful! Piper runs and jumps on me every day when I pick her up at school, screaming "Mommy". It melts my heart.

Catch up with Maysie

Maysie will be turning 2 in February, I can hardly believe it. She is sooo silly. Her favorite foods are fruit and anything crunchy and she loves yogurt smoothies. She adores her big sister and wants to do everything Piper does. She loves school and playing with all her friends. We had a huge blizzard recently and she was a little nervous venturing out into the snow, but once she saw Piper playing in it, she was hooked. We got the Elf on the Shelf this year, and Maysie named the Elf "Nemo". Every night "Nemo" would go to the North Pole to tell Santa if the girls were good and would return to a different spot in the house. Maysie couldn't wait to come downstairs in the morning to see if she could spot "Nemo". She loved unwrapping gifts on Christmas. She would grab a gift unwrap it in record time and then yell "nether one"! We are heading to Disney in a few weeks, and it will be her 3rd time there and she isn't even 2! Yikes!
