When the cat's away the mice will play

...or in our case, when Abby is at school, Lilly finally gets to play with anything she wants!  She went to town and we cleaned up before Jie Jie came home.  No one was the wiser.  :)

Unfortunately both girls have been battling stuffy, runny noses that have now progressed into coughs for the past week but we still manage to have fun in between all the snot!  We also got to celebrate Bryce's 34th birthday and Abby and I got to do some fun art work one day.

I love her smile!  :)

This one is our little explorer.  She's already getting into stuff that Abby didn't discover until she was much older.  We're going to have to keep a close eye on this little girl - and she's fast too!

Bryce's mom made him a delicious chocolate cake for his birthday.  We had to improvise with the candles.  No, Bryce did not turn 5,251 years old.  It's 5-2 which =3 and 5-1 which =4, hence 34 years old.  Get it?  No, didn't think so.  :P

Abby absolutely loves this chair and now Lilly loves it too.  Just look at the joy in her face!

This is how the two of them have been playing lately.  They are in their matching "I ♥ MY DADDY' pajamas  since it was his birthday.

I was painting a quick Christmas art project and Abby wanted to paint too.  :)

This is what a stuffed up baby looks like mouth-breathing and trying to catch up on much needed sleep.  My poor babies...

And lastly, my super quick Christmas decoration.
