We went to the girls' cousins' house for a bbq. They had lots of fun playing in the back yard. Piper loved Colin's 4 wheeler and wanted to ride it all day.

Halloween
Piper loved Halloween and true to form was Dorothy again this year. I don't think the costume will fit next year, so she'll be forced to pick something new. :) She was up bright and early Halloween Day dressed in her costume and shoes watching the Wizard of Oz for the upteenth time.
She loved trick or treating once she got into it. She was a bit shy going to the doors by herself, and when she got tired, she was done. Nothing would convince her to go to another door. She told us she had plenty of candy. When we got back to her grandparents' house, she passed out a few pieces to the kids who were still coming to the door. She also had fun sorting all of her candy into piles and counting it all.

Independence Day
Piper loved the fireworks today. Erick bought her some sparklers, but she wasn't too sure about holding them. She liked looking at them though. We spent the day at the grandparents, and then went downtown to Greg's to watch the show. I think she had more fun catching fireflies with Grandma than watching the fireworks however.

Happy Father's Day
I wanted a picture of everyone for Father's Day, but Piper did not want to cooperate. We had to trick her to even get her in this shot. Oh, well! Happy Father's Day!

More Easter Pics and Kite Video
Piper had lots of fun on Easter. She found all of her Easter eggs and her basket. I think she was more excited about about hunting for eggs than she was about the stuff in her basket. Afterwards, Grandma picked her up for church. She's only been twice before, but she has the routine down, and knows exactly where to go and what to do. Grandma says she was really good.
Erick, Stella, and I met them at his parent's house for lunch. The kids played in the backyard in the sandbox, and Piper and Colin flew their kites. I was glad it was such a beautiful day again.

Egg Hunt
We took the girls to grandma's church for an Easter Egg Hunt. I was disappointed that it was rainy and we had to do it indoors. Piper had a great time collecting her eggs and mangaged to fill her basket until it was overflowing. She received so much candy that I'll probably have to throw most of it away or else she'll have rotten teeth. She did not win the special prize, because Mommy stupidly gave the egg away to someone else that had the ticket in it. Oh well, she still had a great time. She was very cute during the lesson too and kept raising her hand like the other kids even though she had no clue how to answer the preacher's questions. Thankfully he didn't call on her. She loved playing with the other kids and running around on the stage. Most of the time there was this little boy who was chasing her trying to grab her wings. I'm happy that she is finally at the point where she enjoys playing with other children.

Happy St. Patrick's Day
We went downtown today to watch the St. Patty's day parade. Piper had a lot of fun collecting beads and candy. She was not impressed with the loud guns and cannon shots though. Everyone told her how cute she lo0oked today in her mismatched green outfit. Daddy dressed her, but it actually looked okay for the event.
Afterwards we went and ate at The Old Spaghetti Factory. It was naptime and I guess we should have waited. She didn't eat much and was whiny most of the time. She did like the Bread Man that Daddy made to entertain her.

Christmas Day 2009
Piper had a very Merry Christmas and received lots of toys and presents from her family. She loved her Princess dress up shoes and her new dolls. Santa brought her some new books and I must have read at least ten Dora stories tonight before she went to bed. No nap + a long day = an early bedtime of 7pm. Let's hope she stays there all night now. :)
Mommy and Daddy still have many more gifts to give her next week after we are unpacked. She has more than enough to play with now anyway. We still have to have Christmas with my family too. I think she is drowning in toys.

Independence Day
Piper says "Happy Fourth of July" to everyone. She's not too sure she likes the fireworks because they go "Boom!", but she did like throwing the poppers and watching the snakes grow.Monday, May 11, 2009

Mother's Day 2008
Wow, she has hair this year! We went to Erick's mom's house yesterday for Mother's Day, and then went out to eat. Piper and I hung out together all afternoon and went for a walk around the neighborhood. She is really into examining every little thing now on the ground. We left no stone unturned.

Happy Mother's Day
Piper and I planted flowers to give to Erick's mom for Mother's Day. We painted the pots earlier this week, one for me and one for her. My monkey girl enjoyed playing in the dirt and scooping it into the pots. I had a hard time keeping her from carrying around the flowers however.

Happy Easter
We had a good Easter this year. After hunting for eggs and checking out the basket we headed over to Erick's parents' house for lunch. Piper had fun playing with the dogs and with her cousins later on. They are getting so big, and I can't believe the twins are turning one next week.
I went a little overboard on Piper's Easter basket this year. I started shopping early and just kept adding things. It didn't cost a lot of money, and there were quite a few items that I had set back months ago. She didn't get a basket last year cause we thought she was too little, so it was fun to watch her reaction to all the goodies she got. No candy this time around, but she got fruit snacks and money in her eggs. These are the things she received in her basket at home:
~Guess How Much I Love You book and stuffed bunny
~Color Wonders
~sidewalk chalk
~2 wooden puzzles
~Little People minibus
~Squishy ball
~Easter stickers
~3 small board books
~sunglasses
~wind-up chick
~playdoh
~toy necklace for dress up
~pinwheel
~bubbles
~Gund stuffed lamb that plays Jesus Loves Me
~Mrs. Potato Head Easter edition
~Wonder Pet egg with toy inside
~lacing shapes
Grandma also got her an Easter basket with clothes, a stuffed bunny, fruit snacks, a sparkly baton, and a baby doll. She actually liked it this time and carried it around all day.
Hope your day was great too!

Hippity Hop to the Easter Bunny
She loved the Easter Bunny when we were at the mall. She was waving and laughing at him when we first went up there. There was a group in front of us whose little girl was scared to death of him. I was really surprised that Piper decided she liked him so well. Even after her turn was over she was reaching out to him to pick her back up and playing with his eyes and nose.
