First Kiss

We knew they would love each other...

Peek a boo!

Our version of Saturday morning cartoons

Eliza was being a pill so I thought I'd think of something new. A blanket over the table became our quick fort. We watched Elmo on my laptop. Later Ben went in to see the fun.

Cake pop

Like mother like daughter

My dear friend Lyndsey is amazing! She was planning on have her baby today but instead we got to go visit and SHE gave US homemade bread. Isn't that backwards?!? Eliza LOVES her bread so much. When we got home she wouldn't even let me take her coat off before she dug in. I think she gets that from me...

Free Zoo Day

Today was free day at the zoo and who doesn't like free!?!? At Lindsay's party we talked about going. Haylee and I were the only brave souls to venture into the cold. Honestly, it was one of the best days I've ever had at the zoo! We had some hilarious things happen, Eliza loves animals and making their sounds, and it wasn't that cold!!!

The sign says...Burrow ENTRANCE Duck - Low Ceiling. For some reason I thought there would be ducks inside. What a way to start the day. I keep saying I'm losing my mind...

Matthew and Haylee feeding the ducks.

We left the ducks and Haylee couldn't find her gloves. She walked back up to the ducks and didn't see them. I said maybe an extra pair of eyes will help. I found them. In WITH the ducks. We went and told the workers who said they'd get them for her. Hilarious!

You can't tell that great from the pictures but these monkey's loved Eliza. I think it's because she had food in her hands. They came right up to her. If there wasn't glass they would have been on her lap!

We deemed Lindsay as our zoo good luck charm. It wasn't that busy, it got pretty warm, and we saw so many animals so close up. She is the only one who hadn't been to the zoo before so she gets the credit! Sleeping or not...

How cool is that!

Kind of looks like a really strange engagement picture!

Not quite 16 yet and Happy Chinese New Year!

Eliza was so excited to be in a shopping cart...because she got to drive! She really did love it. It was hilarious.

I made lettuce wraps to celebrate Chinese New Year.
Ok not really.
Chinese new year was yesterday.
But our dinner tonight was delish!

iPad Camera

Look who found photo booth on my iPad...

Waterfall braid and is my husband Jewish?!

I am not so great and waterfall braiding my own hair. I wanted to practice on Jess. I usually can braid so easy but it was not working! I went home and tried on myself again and again then finally realized I was doing it wrong! I figured it out and it actually looks pretty!

And I do love the Middle East...
