I came home from caroling and delivering christmas treats with the church Relief Society only to find LaRee and Grandpa in the kitchen cooking or should I say holiday baking. Grandpa gives LaRee way too many privileges in the kitchen. If you click on the picture it might come up bigger on your screen and you will be able to see the circle of peanut butter on her face as well as the powdered sugar on her cheek and pants. She was "run-around-the-house" happy. I am sure it was a mixture of happy to be with Grandpa and sugar!!!!
We finally bought a couple of bar stools for our kitchen bar. I was doing dishes and all of a sudden I see this little set of eyes peer over the bar. That little stinker can pull her self up and sit up to the bar.
Do you ever wonder what your kids are doing when you finally take that quick trip to the bathroom? Well, mine is busy diapering Elmo. I opened the door to find a diapered Elmo and by the time I had returned with the camera, LaRee had joined us. Elmo is hipper then most kids, he wears one side of his diper over his shoulder. Too Cool Elmo!!
This must be LaRee's version of a Tea Party. She has put a stuffed dog in one chair and given both of them sippey cups. Note she has stuffed a pillow behind her back for what I can only guess is a little added comfort.I came into the kitchen Sunday morning to find LaRee squeeling over the Toys r Us ad from the Sunday paper. I asked Grandpa if he had given it to her and he said that she had "requested" he give it to her. There was so much exciting stuff that she couldn't take the time to sit down.
On this moring LaRee had a spoon and she hopped down from the table and helped herself to a fork from the silverware drawer and ate the rest of her cereal with both a spoon and fork. This girl is definitely special, I am just not sure what kind of special.
LaRee had such a good time decorating our Christmas tree. This is a picture of her clapping and singing her own praises after hanging an ornament, which she did with every ornament she put on the tree.
As I was passing our Christmas tree I noticed what looked to me to be a new ornament. It was a set of nailclippers. I am guessing that because it had a silver loop at the top , when LaRee found them in Grandpa's room she figured they were to go on the tree as an ornament. Clever girl!

What a stinkin cutie. Cannot wait to see her. The toe nail clippers was the funniest to me for some reason.
Wow. This is such a GREAT post! She is so sweet. Isn't so fun to live through our kids eyes sometimes. I sit back and just amaze at the things mine come up with. What would we do without them??
So one day we are totally going to have to meet!!

She is looking so grown up!! Where does the time go? Can you believe she's going to be two soon? Are you enjoying your new house? I hope so!! Have a Merry Christmas!
LOL--she IS her mothers daughter. I'm praying May works out--can't wait to see both of you. Love ya like crazy. XOXO
I can't believe she requested the ads and oohed and awed about them. I think that was my favorite one. They were all cute. I miss seeing you guys at the mommy group on Fridays. Hopefully it will start up sometime in January. Hope your Christmas was Fabulous!!
This stuff made me laugh so hard I was crying! You tell the stories well....I LOVED the Elmo picture (she obviously learned diaper duty from the best!) and that nail clipper ornament was HYSTERICAL!!! That shows absolute genius in my book! My mom is going to LOVE the nail clipper story!!! Thanks Meliss! You're posts are the best!!!
Holy Cow - I think you guys need 16 kids . . . or maybe you could just populate the earth. She is such a doll. I wish I could kiss her cheeks in person! Love ya
