Shutterfly funness

I was looking for a new way to send out holiday cheer, remembering that growing up my mother would spend her nights preparing her "annual letter". I don't have time for that, but I still wanted to send out love and good wishes. I stumbled accross Shutterfly a while ago (when Lyla was born actually, birth announcments were critical!!), and looked at their Holiday cards. I found so many that I wanted to use, they were each so precious.
I haven’t decided on what design I want yet, but you can be sure, it will be colourful and happy. Just like Lyla and I are around the holidays.
And another great thing about Shutterfly, I know they’ll be around to help me announce any new arrivals (baby or otherwise) in a most charming way. I love it. Simple and fun. Now if only everything else (baking) was this easy, right?!

So go along and check out their stuff. Its all awesome. My favourite stuff right now is of course the holiday photo cards, it makes me smile.

help from the bloggers of the world

if you are a blogger, then i have something for you.
it's a little questionnaire.
a friend of mine is working on her masters and is researching blogging. she asked me to fill this form out, and i said i would, and also give it to all of those who would take 2 mins to fill it out.
so, if you are interested, leave me your email address and i'll send it along.
i love filling silly stuff like this out. it's fun.

thanks!

We went to East Side Mario's for supper.
Lyla liked the water.

And the ice cream.

Sam, Lyla and the Bunny

We visited our furry friend on Saturday. It was fun. Much more successful than our visit with Santa in Decemeber. Thanks to the Taylor's for coming with us :)

Beware

We cage very exotic, furiously dangerous animals at our house.
Consider this your warning!

Paging Dr. Lyla

I would totally let her give me a needle :) she comes with cookies (see left hand).

Sweet Caroline

Bah bah bah.

Lyla loves this song, and knows "her part". 

Watch and enjoy my little song monster.

We eat corn

And gosh does it taste good.

Cheese!

Resolution #1

Do something drastic to benefit someone else: (please ignore the fug pictures that make me look like i have a moustache, no for real!)Cut off 12 inches of hair for Locks of Love. Check.

Ho Ho Ho

Lyla, what does Santa say?

"Ho ho ho" (said in her cute little voice, while trying to sound like daddy with a deep Santa voice, does that make sense?)

Lyla and Santa have a love/hate relationship. See...

First she gives him a hug.

Then a nice little pat.

Then she pushes him (not so nice)

Then she listens to a secret he's telling her.

Followed by nice kisses.I think this thing could turn out, especially when she finds out he brings her gifts!

we decorated the tree

it's up, and lit and has presents all around it. lyla helped decorate.

best part: she loves it, and doesn't touch it. she's so good :) and so cute.
