Foto Friday
I know I've been slacking a little bit on the 'Foto Friday' I'll try to do better :) To make up for it I'll post a bunch of fun random pictures taken this month.
I found Lilly in her room. This outfit says it all, she is a total girl, but also LOVES her tools. She is a little tinker fairy princess.

This picture is a true testament at how gentle Bryn is, she will let Lilly do anything to her, even sit on her :) What a good doggy.
I used to think Lilly was ambidextrous, but now I think she is quadibextrous :) :)
Lilly LOVES to pop popcorn in our new airpopper, for some reason she thinks it's one of the coolest things ever. I like it too, it's healthier and kind of like using a power tool in the kitchen :)

Lilly really enjoyed riding up to the temple from the church building parking lot in a bus! 
I wanted to get some cute family pictures outside on the temple grounds, but they weren't allowing pictures inside or out, so I snapped a quick one of Lilly in the church after we exited the temple. There was a nice display in the cultural hall at the church next to the temple. They also were serving cookies! Lilly of course had a chocolate one, she loves her chocolate. 
Just for fun, here is one of my favorite pictures taken of our family. It was our special sealing day at the Seattle temple. 
After that we went out for ice cream at Cold Stone! It was Lilly's first time at coldstone and she asked for chocolate ice cream. Lilly really loves chocolate anything, so I was pretty sure she would want that :) Lilly actually ate more icecream than I did too :)
It was a really fun Friday night, we all enjoyed our time with each other and are looking forward to next Friday family night. 
This activity was mainly to give the kids something to put their loot in from the Pinata!
We played pin the tail on swipper(Lilly got to help color the tails for the Swipper game)
Mike and Lilly got to pop the balloon after everything was dry!
Next was the painting of the pinata! 
We cut a hole in the pinata and filled it up with prizes and candy! Then we had to patch it up and do some finishing touches.
The finished Dora Pinata! 
Lilly and Mike brought out the Pinata! All of the kids were soooooo excited to take a swing at Dora! 
After all the games we had cake and icecream and Lilly finally got to open her presents! She was so excited and was really happy with all the fun things she recieved.
We decided to make our own cake this year and I AM SOOOOO HAPPY with how it turned out! it's really nice having an artist for a husband :) I did the words, eyebrows and all the purple stuff and Mike did the eyes and mouths and cutting of the cake to make it look like backpack. (he is so awesome) I love homemade cakes, they taste better and are really so special. I think we will deffiantly give it a try again next year... 
Here's the people that made it all happen :) the Party Crew! I think we make a pretty good team and throw an awesome party! 
Lilly LOVES to help daddy and use his tools so we got her very own tools to use now, and she is in heaven! 
Lilly also enjoys anything art/crafty and Lilly's Aunt & Uncle D. (and cousins) gave Lilly this awesome tracing projector.
After the movie we went back home and played with Lilly's new playdough from uncle Dan, now Lilly has 4 different playdough sets! I need to get her a big storage container to keep it all in. Of course Lilly played more with her tools too.
It was a fun day and we are excited for her Birthday party on Saturday. Mike and Lilly started a special project for the party on New Years Eve and I think we are going to make it a tradition. They are making a Pinata! It's so cute and I will post pictures of the process after the party on Saturday. I want it to be a suprise for Lilly's guests, so I'm going to wait until then. 
I am excited for the New Year, hopefully great things will happen this year. One really cool thing that happens in January is Lilly's birthday! I can't believe she is going to be three years old in less than a week. She is getting so grown up and is such a darling, funny, beautiful little girl.
Here is Lilly standing under three of the four of Mike's works displayed at the student gallery and the other is Lilly helping Mike find where his artwork was displayed. It was only a few days after his surgery so Lilly got to help him. I am so proud of Mike! The three that belong to Mike are starting from the red one over to the white backed one. I didn't take a good picture of the fourth piece, I'll have to talk Mike into posting quality photo's of his current pieces :) so that you can see them all.
