Holy cannoli....I'm behind!

This is DEFINITELY the longest I've ever gone without posting in the history of this blog.  I feel terrible because I'm only falling prey to the age old adage that the second kid never gets all the proper life milestone recordings as the first kid.  I'm sorry, Lilly!!  Where to even begin....I'm just going to have to do a high level snapshot since last October and I'll just wrap up the end of the year.

Remainder of October:

Instead of carving pumpkins, we decorated little ones with stickers.  By FAR a cleaner way to go and the kids get to be involved.  Win-win!

Lilly had a little help from Daddy.  :)

They were Anna and Elsa for Halloween and LOVED it!

Abby had to re-take her school picture and Take 2 turned out really well!

November:

Thank you, Lao Nian, for our matching outfits from Taiwan!

Lilly really wants to ride Abby's bike.  :)

These two LOVE sleeping together.  ♥

Waiting at the bus stop in the morning is one of their favorite parts of the day.

And it begins!  Lilly LOVES wearing my shoes.  She has a better chance of inheriting my shoes than Abby.  :P

More  morning bus stop pics!

My cousin Yi Nan came to visit us from Taiwan!

I love this picture.  ♥

Morning cuddles on a chilly morning at the bus stop!

Cheek to cheek.

Silly head bands that they love.

Love this shirt - hehe!

My new favorite sister picture.

Abby lost her 2nd tooth!

Someone loves her Lao Yie!

We went to visit our new cousin Vincent in the hospital!

Vincent was crying and apparently, my girls thought he was loud.  :P

Great job, Jo Ma!  We love him already!

December:

Typical Lilly - ♥

 

Tree decorated - done!

Silly Lilly!

What is with kids and bubbles!?!?

Last day of school in 2014.

Lilly got to sit in on one of Abby's art classes - she LOVES it! 

Abby looks forward to art class EVERY week.  :)

Cuddles!

Trying on Daddy's new Mucks for work.

 

Abby's turn!

They got to wear pjs to school on the last day.  Sister love!!

The Baldwins are back!

Party Time!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Willow!

We went to Kansas for Christmas and their wish came true - it snowed!!

Our snowman/bear/cat!

It was roughly 3' tall.  :)

Granddad and Bryce fixing a chair...Lilly broke.

Lilly - will cuddle for food.  Literally.  With any willing body.

 

Merry Christmas!

From the Bakers!

These girls were inseparable!

Drive home....

Christmas at the Chens!

Bryce and I were able to go to the game!

It was great seeing you again Uncle Khiem!

Happy 70th Birthday, Daddy!
