Christmas Pics Preview

Lili got her pictures taken last week for Christmas. She was not really into it at first, stating "no pictures, no pictures" about 50 times. Then, Daddy brought out a teddy bear and some fake presents under the tree they had for decorations. Suddenly, it all changed. Our little angel really got into it. Even put moved over one of the stools to put her feet up as she was photographed. She was too cute! Here is a preview of the shoot!

Turkey day

It's a turkey!

Waiting for the turkey to be done! Just hanging out watching Mickey Mouse and waiting for the parade. Yes, Lili made her own hat with Teacher Pat! She was very excited about wearing it! :)

Birthday follow up

Cheese! (See, this cake is much cooler!)

The fam....

Intently eating...

As promised, here are a few more birthday pictures. Our little ham. Hard to believe she is 2!

SNOW!

Not sure where she gets it, but Lili LOVES the snow.

Welcome to December in Rochester! She even held up her stuffed animals to the window this morning to show them!

The first birthday bash

Fletcher staying out of the way, or hiding, not sure which.

Playing with the Mickey crew.

Dillie has nothing on this attitude! :) Thanks Uncle David and Aunt Taylor. She loves the hat!

Blowing out the really bad homemade cake Mommy made. The other cakes were so much more professional! :)

Due to illness, we celebrated Lili's birthday 3 different times. The first with just us, then the grandparents, and then with the rest of the Russell crew. Here are a few pics from the first two.

Here comes trouble...

Our climber. She is now taking things off the counter, moving the stool to get what she wants, and sitting on tables. Oh, to have a two year old! We love that smile though!

Halloween.

Ok, so we are little behind the times. It's no surprise really to those who know us. Lili opted to be Minnie Mouse. We almost changed her costume to being a cowgirl with Fletcher as the horse, but I think will save it for next year. We stuck with the Mickey and Minnie Mouse themes. Yes, daddy even carved them on the pumpkins! Not bad for first time parents really! :)
