Adventures of hat making

So about a week ago I realized that I probably needed to buy a hat for Elizabeth since it is so cold. Then I just decided since I have yarn I should just make one. Well, now I have made 4 of them. I just learned how to make flowers and I have put flowers on the lat 2 that I made. So it has been fun and has filled my days!

Cookie Making

We had play group at our house this week and made sugar cookies for the kids to decorate and eat. Here are pictures of Elizabeth helping me out (if you call it that!).

Gingerbread Houses

Our friends, Daniele and Trent, had us and a few other people over for a night of gingerbread house making. It was at the perfect time because Elizabeth was tired and went to bed at their house so we were able to have a fun night without interruptions from her (maybe next year she can help)! It was a lot of fun as both Ben and I really were doing this for the first time ever (as far as we remember). Here are pictures of everyone's work.

Grandma and Grandpa's visit

Elizabeth loved having my mom and dad here. It was nice to have others around to play with her. She really liked cuddling with them and even took her bottle to Grandpa so he could hold her. I forgot to really take pictures so here are the few I did take.

The kitchen cupboards

Here are a few pictures of Eliabeth's favorite place to play in the kitchen. She loves taking everything out and either climbing into the cupboard or leaving it all over the kitchen for me to clean!
