Tea and Cookies!

What a nice weekend at home. Kiera enjoyed almost a 3 hour nap today. After her nap we decided to make cookies, I am so glad we did. I often don't do things because I think it will take time away from our little girl. Today gave me the confidence to do the "to do" list with her. She makes everything so much more fun!

Tea for mommy, daddy, elmo and dolly.

Baking cookies.

The mixer is neat.

Washing the dishes, the fun part!

Enjoying a cookie!

Winter has arrived!

Love these snow pants,  I want a pair, seriously!

Snow, interesting...

Knocking off all the snow on our railing, the best part of our time in the snow.

Daddy, I would like this toy and this one and this one...

Sweetie!
