Christmas revisited

Yes we only have one child, why do you ask? 

Opening presents at our house. Santa puts in a lot of miles. 

Millie with Anne and Kate, two of her MANY cousins. 

"Silly pictures." 

All together now: awwww. 

Yeah the kid's cute, but check out that creepy doll!

Meet Norm

After much thought and research, we have added a four-legged friend to our fold. The timing of this addition was actually a spontaneous decision. We went to the Humane Society "just to look" at guinea pigs, but after playing with bunnies and puppies, we fell in love with Norm the guinea pig. I was smitten with the big guy right away, and my parents agreed he was a great pet. Millie just wanted to take SOMETHING home. So after a quick call to Tony (so that he could feel he had some say. Ha!) we bought a truck-load of guinea pig paraphernalia and took Norm home.

Thanksgiving 2010

Getting a head start on decorating Christmas cookies

Julia and a really big knife

Don't all teenage boys relax and read the paper after dinner? 

Fireplace? Check. Football on t.v.? Check. Daddy? Check. Life is good. 

Bring on the pies!

PJ Day

Thanksgiving week means, apparently, Pajama Day at preschool! All the kids (and the teachers) wore PJ's and watched a movie while snacking on popcorn and lemonade. Made me wish I was three.

I guess we had this coming...

And just like that, Fall is over

I have been a lame little blogger lately. So sorry, no excuses what-so-ever. Here is a small sample of the past couple of months in Millie's World.

Sharing a bench with Coco and Drovie.

Conspiring

With Grandma at the Annual St. Anthony Park Fall Festival. 

What this pumpkin needs is one more pom pom. Right...here.

First lollipop of the day at the Grand Avenue Boo Blast.

Dinner at Chili's post Boo Bash.

 Decorating Mom's pathetic attempt at a home-made Gingerbread House.

One for the Gingerbread House, one for me...

Ah yes, more orange goop.

The Halloween "Show" at preschool.

Graham was one happy bat.

Pooped Care Bear

As you can see, we got our eight dollar's worth with this costume. This is at Teacher Molly's. 

And finally, her new hat. "Coco will be so happy that I have the same hat as her." 

End of summer

Practicing for Halloween. 

Last weekend on the Como Merry-go-round.

Hello monkey. 

At the park with Coco and Drovi. 

At least Elliot listens to directions. 

Besties. 

Does this look comfortable to you?
