A little Wii

Lyla is obsessed with the Wii. It is always "Play Wii, Play Wii." Here she is with Grandpa doing a little Wii Fit. As you can see she still needs a little help.

A Few More Christmas Pics

Thankfully my mom was able to take a few more pics on Christmas. Enjoy.

Christmas 2011

Christmas couldn't have been any better (besides being sick). Sadly the stomach flu pretty much wiped our family out so these are the only two pics I have to show for our holiday. I know that doesn't seem like a wonderful christmas but it really was. The sickness was just a bit of a bump on the road. The wonderful part was getting to see all our families, Lyla's joy opening all her fabulous gifts(everything was "Ohhh, cuuuute! I like it"), amazing food (well what we kept down) and just getting to spend so much great quality time together. I really can't complain. I may have a few more pics to share from my mom but here are the two I have. One of my Grandma and Grandpa Stajgr's christmas tree and one of Lyla and my mom playing their piano. I wish I could have gotten more but this is it. So sorry to all you "Lyla.com" followers.

Dinner Party with Friends

I wish I had taken more pictures before the food was eaten (and all the cocktails had been had..he..he..) but I am still happy I got these few. It was a great night and a perfect weekend. So happy to have such wonderful friends in our lives. Can't wait for the week of festivities to continue.

Dinner Party Prep

One of the things I love doing is entertaining. We have a few parties on the way. First up is a dinner party at with our friends Katie and Damien and The Robbins Family (Jen, Brandon and Mia). Danny and I made everything from scratch which is a big deal for us. We had ham, scallop potatoes, cesear salad and green bean and artichoke cassorole. It was really fun and we loved getting the house cleaned and decorate and spending so much time together getting everything ready.

Future Jumper

Part of our weekend included cleaning, decorating and preparing for all the company we'll be having through out the week. In doing so that meant the ski equipment in the dinner room had to find another place to live. Lyla of course jumped the opportunity to help. Here she is practicing in the kitchen. Gotta love to see a future jumper in the making.

Decorating Some Christmas Cookies

While we were down at my parents house this weekend my mom and I thought it would be fun to decorate cookies with Lyla. She is of course a little young still but we had a good time. She mostly ate the frosting and sprinkles but we loved watching her and it brought back a lot of memories for me since this was something we use to always do. Gotta love the holidays. I will say I think we wore her out (or it was sugar crash) because not long after she was out.
