Gingerbread House

Amelia felt the need to get cozy the other afternoon. She wanted her jammies and hat on. She was very cozy for the rest of the day.

We decorated a gingerbread house for family home evening last night. Amelia hasn't really had candy before, but she loved it.

Can you see the blue candy in her mouth?

Papi did most of the frosting and I did most of the candy. I think it turned out pretty good!

Here's my angel that my mom made me. I had to lay a pretty heavy guilt trip, but I got it! Now we are ready for Christmas!

We were trying to use self timer.

Is it weird that one ponytail is longer than the other?

Red Dress

Karli said this was Haylee's dress and has been through her girls and now Amelia. She got a lot of compliments at church and just looked ready for Christmas.

She hasn't tasted a candy cane yet, but she loves to break them.

Children's Museum

Our playgroup went to the Children's Museum in November and Amelia had a great time. She's learning to interact a little more with the exhibits. Rolling in the rain forest room. They have a dance dance revolution game, but I couldn't get an action shot.

THis is a new exhibit they put in called Veterinarian. They have stuffed animals and Amelia is actually sitting in one of the cages. They have an area to "wash" the animals and take their x-rays, it's pretty cool.

Backpack and French Braids

Amelia loves to wear Papi's backpack, but it is way too big. We got her a little one for Christmas so we'll see how she likes it. This is her french braids at the end of the day.

Can you see how she is crossing her legs like Papi? She copies everything he does.

Puerto Rican

Abuelo y Abuela sent Amelia a typical Puerto Rican outfit.
