Boy did Gramma have her hands full this week!  I’m pretty sure that she will be hibernating in her bed from Thursday through Monday to recover from this week!  Monday she had a sleepover with Cousin S, Tuesday we had a full day with all the girls playing at the Children’s Museum of Paramus NJ, then she had a sleepover with A & Wednesday she came out to our house to bring A back, we went out to lunch and then she came to watch A’s very first swim lesson!

Check out how freaking adorable A & S (and A2 got to come out to play too!) were at the museum!!!!

Warning…LOTS OF PICTURES!!!

 

S wanted A to ride in her car WITH her!

A & S playing with blocks

"How the heck does this thing work...I really want to be LOUDER"

A made a friend!

S the builder...

and S the firefighter...

 

S has got the whooolllleeee world...in her hands!

 

We flew the helicopter...

played under the sea...

and above the sea...(A might be on her way overboard!)

S found a horsey!

and they rode together!!!

finally - they had a crafts session & the girls made pretty hats!

Cousin S’s 3rd 2nd Birthday party was her school party.  A, Gramma and I got to go too!  It was a great Yo Gabba Gabba party!

 

MUNOOOOOOO he's tall and friendly

FOOFAAAAA.....She's pink and happy!

BROBEEEEE...the little green one!

TOODEEEE.....she likes to have fun!

PLEX....a magic robot!

 

Cupcakes came out fantastic!  Weird that Auntie H requested purple cake – but hey….she’s weird 🙂

As soon as A saw her cousin at the other side of the room, she HAD to get to her right away…so she crawled under the table and made her way to the prime spot right next to her best cousin!  It was so sweet…she loves her so much!

 

'I'm coming Cousin S!"

"Front row to the candle show!"

"How come I didn't get a cupcake?!"

Haha - No cupcake for you A!!! Soon - but not yet!

Cousin Al gets a cupcake!

 

 

SuperGLEE party…

We had a little GLEE/Superbowl party over here.  Took just a few nights of shoving things in closets to make this place presentable!  Oh – and hanging some quick Ikea curtains so we weren’t in our normal fishbowl!

We started off the day with a little hiccup – Auntie H and Cousin S had a little accident on the way, so they never made it … Sad face.  But we sent the husband to check on them & A and I met up with our friends E and baby PD & went walking on the boardwalk to see all the insane people jump into the ocean in 40 degree weather!  We thought it was just beautiful out!  However we were dressed in winter coats & the girls were all bundled up in their strollers…not half naked in bikini’s and such running into the ocean that has been snowed in for 2 months straight!  (not that you’d ever catch me running anywhere in a bikini…pretty sure not even in the privacy of my own home!)

ok so weird - i totally just got this off the Long Beach website and this was the first photo i clicked on, and its totally my friend N who just spent the whole day here and we love her! there were thousands of people and she's in the photo I randomly picked...weird! She's on the right 🙂

After a nice walk outside, we came home & finished up our cooking & started the party!  I didn’t take too many photos but here were some of our guests!

Little C

Little G

E & Little PD - who was being very camera shy! (sorry E for the bad photo...we are working with what we had!)

Cupcake Pro & Apprentice!

Aunt D and I made those neon cupcakes…and little K helped decorate!  The husband thought they were delicious!  He ate 8.

This was a great superbowl party!  So many babies and friends and family…and I was kept busy enough that I didn’t have to watch a single second of football!  But I did get to watch Glee with my family once the football was over.  It was great!

Thanks everyone for coming.  Maybe Auntie H will make it next year!

Happy Birthday Gramma!

And we couldn’t have asked for a better present than we got on Feb 4th 2009!

 

Happy Happy Birthday Cousin S!  You light up our lives with more than just that fabulous hair!

You’re a funny, sweet, smart, silly and so freaking cute.  We hope that all of your dreams come true (except the one about Cookie Monster biting your feet!)

Thank you for giving us so much joy the last 2 years and we look forward to many many more years of memories!

A’s first Hannukah!

She went to 2 Hannukah parties, got tons and tons of presents, loved all the wrapping paper (like all good babies do) and at the end, asked when Hannukah is coming again 😉

First party was at Grand Uncle & Aunt’s house with lots of cousins and a serious amount of presents!

Opening A's first Hannukah gelt....next year she can eat some!

 

Crawling away ... as usual

Favorite dog!

 

 

Next party was with Grandpa & B and A got to match PJ’s with Cousin S 🙂

A & Grandpa

With Auntie H & Great Gramma!

I can’t believe this was 2 months ago.  Time is flying.

Happy New Year!

Yea yea…its still 2011…even if it’s not Jan 1 🙂

We had Auntie E and Aunt D over for a Taco night & A tried to stay up wayyyy too late.  She’s really excited for 2011!  Plans include sleeping, eating more and more, playing, making new friends, having a kick ass 1st birthday party,  celebrating a lot of holidays with all her favorites, walking, running, dancing, jumping, swimming and way way more!

Here’s how we said good-bye to 2010!

Happy 2011 everyone 🙂

Saying goodbye to A’s first home…

A’s first home was in Brooklyn.  She won’t remember anything about it, and at times, I would like to forget about it too, but really, aside from the drain fly infestation, loud downstairs tenant, breezy shower, tiny downstairs bathroom, dumb non-functioning garage, very difficult parking and stupid landlord, it was a good house.

It provided us with great memories of A’s first 7 months & I hope we never forget it.  I loved the paint colors we chose…and I loved the open yet separate living room/dining room.  I loved our big bedroom and A’s little nursery.  I loved the location near Auntie E.  I loved Food City our little grocery store, and that our walks in the morning took us to the water as we walked by mansions we could never afford but loved to look at.  I loved being able to let T out in the yard.  I loved that it was the LK’s first house and how all of our furniture and “stuff” from our tiny 1 br apt filled up the house.  I even loved the packing tape that was stuck on the LR walls from the HAPPY BIRTHDAY banner for the surprise party I threw my husband 2 weeks after we moved in.  I really loved the way our couch came in the house and out….through the window.  I loved how close it was to Auntie H.  Of course she never dropped S at our house when it was 15 minutes away…but we did see much more of her then!

A loved the house too.

Here’s some photos from our final day there.  She never knew there was so much open space!  (If only she knew at that time that space would be something she’d never want for again!)

Happy Birthday Auntie H!!

We love you soooo much.

We hope you have the best day ever & that the girls are good for you 🙂  And if they’re not, we’re sending Grandma to come watch them anyway…and bringing Nagahama.  You’re day should be good!

soooooo many kisses!

L, L, A, T & M
