Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving! 

Lily's school bulletin board was a proud, proud moment for Dad and Mom.  For Thanksgiving, each child was taken out side of the room and asked what two things they are thankful for.  They could say anything...some said, Buzz Lightyear and ice cream or Mickey Mouse and "my puppy".  Lily was thankful for Mommy and Daddy!  BEST. FEELING. EVER.

Happy Thanksgiving from our little Indian!

 Lily had a fun Thanksgiving, visiting Mom's family.  Thursday, we spent the day with Grammy, Uncle Brett, Aunt Briana, Uncle Tony, GiGi and Poppy.  Lily had fun playing with everyone, especially the puppies. 

Playing with Fin.

Rocking and screaming "REALLY FAST!"

Friday we went to visit Jack, Ba, Pops and Aunt Kait with Aunt Briana and Uncle Tony. Lily had so much fun driving in the car with Jack, riding the motorcycle and playing air hockey.

Water Slides!

This weekend we made a trip to the Poconos, to Great Wolf Lodge, for Jack's birthday party and a weekend of water slides and water park fun.  We all had so much fun and Lily was an adventurous little lady.  We played in the water, stepping on fountains, jumped through waves in the wave pool and Lily rode down big kid slides and even a really fast (and really scary) slide with Mommy several times! Mommy screamed like a little girl, but Lily just held on tight and said "FASTER!". Lily had fun playing with all of her Aunts and Uncles, Ba and Pops too! Bella and her parents came as well and the girls had a fun time playing and running around.

Stepping on the fountains!

Uncle gets soaked!!

Having fun with Uncle Tony.

So happy.

Splashing!

Having so much fun!

Cup cake time! Happy Birthday, Jack!  Lily is eyeing up her cupcake. 

Delicious!

Lily and Mom after riding the really fast slide!!  She kept saying "I so happy".

 

Before we left, we made a stop in the arcade and this lucky little Lily hit the 1,000 ticket jackpot on two different machines back to back! She then played her first game of air hockey with Dad. She was pretty good and actually had some good hits against Dad. Lily got to pick out a lot of prizes for all of her tickets. 2 stuffed animals, a bouncy ball and 4 ring pops.

Needless to say, we will be heading back again!!

Air hockey!

Good hit!

Soccer Saturday

Saturday morning, Lily and Mom headed into Philadelphia to go watch Uncle Brett coach his soccer team.  It was a great game, they smoked the other team!  Lily and I had fun on the sidelines cheering and clapping.  After the game, Lily got to play a little bit with Uncle on the field. Then we went to Aunt Briana's and Uncle Tony's for lunch.  We had a great time seeing everyone! 

Kick!

Dribbling.

Chasing the ball that Uncle kicked.

Being silly and running around.

When we got to Aunt Briana and Uncle Tony's Lily was shy...

But after the tickle monster came, she was happy again!

Goodbye kisses.

Goodbye hugs for Uncle Tony

High five!

Sorry we didn't get a picture with Aunt Briana!  Next time!

Halloween Parade

Lily's school parade was post-poned due to hurricane Sandy power issues so it was held today. Lily wanted to be a butterfly again.  Cutest butterfly I've ever seen. 

Lily insisted on wearing most of her costume to school in the morning. 

Walking with her friend and looking for Mommy.

She saw Mommy...and Pops!!! She was surprised to see him and said "Hey, it's Pops!"

Beautiful butterfly!

Making sure we didn't leave. 

Always keeping an eye on us!

Thanks for coming to the parade, Pops!
