New Camera!

I got a new camera for Christmas!! Yay!! I was so excited! I loved the camera I had, but it had such a slow shutter speed. Seriously, Lily would be smiling for a picture and by the time it took she was no longer in the frame. We decided to get a Canon Rebel T2i, and it is great. I still need to learn all the different functions it can do, but it also works great as a point and shoot.

The pictures below are the first ones I took with the new camera. When I first got it, Lily was taking a nap, so I got some cute pictures of Gracie.

Santa = no fun!

Well...we did it...we tried to get a picture of Lily with Santa. Last year she did so well. She didn't smile, but she didn't cry, so I considered it a success. We weren't that lucky this year. She wanted NOTHING to do with the man in red. Below are the chronicles of Lily and Santa. Thankfully these were in my sister's neighborhood, so we didn't have to pay for proof of these lovely moments.

one last attempt...still not sure about him.

Let's hope this is just a phase, and maybe we can get a smiling picture next year?!?!?

Yo Gabba Gabba Live!!

I can't believe I didn't do a blog for this earlier! On December 10th we took Lily to see her favorite show live...Yo Gabba Gabba Live! Party in my City! at the Hobby Center.

We were curious to see how she would react to seeing them in person, since she has only seen them on the small screen. Thankfully, she was SO excited to see the show. She pretty much sat there with a look of awe the entire time.

It was already her favorite show, but she has a new found excitement for it after seeing it live. Below are the pictures from the evening. I will try and add the video I took on my next post. The look on her face when the characters came on stage is priceless!

Christmas Pictures

Ok...I know it is February, but I wanted to put these pictures up on the blog. We went outside to get pictures for our Christmas cards, but Lily was not in a very cooperative mood. She didn't mind her picture being taken as long as it wasn't anywhere near David and/or me. We ended up getting some cute pictures of Lily, which I was very happy about.
