2015 in Review

Dear Lydia,
  Here are some things that happened in your 3/4 year that didn't get a full post.

 Aunt Kaley's best friend Samijo got married and my best friend was the photographer so we got some cute family shots. Lucky Us.

 We do not go to the zoo very much. The only place you really like is the splash pad and there are free those. But when friends want to, we do it. Here are pics of the one time we went this year.

 

Giving softies to Lincoln.

 These are just my friends Amy, Jillian, Karli and mine's kids. (two more in strollers and one is a tummy) That's 4 of us and 10 of you. WTH.

 You really wanted to take that pink bird home.

 

 Playing with ball's on the tramp with Uncle Dustin at the Stacey's house for a summer party.

 Obsessing over the rain. In jammies.

Hanging out with your cousins. You like to dress up as "Tyra" so any chance you get to see her is magic.

 Cuddles and cartoons with your skinniest brother.

and making jewelry with dad.


Love you,
Love Mommy

Christmas '15

4 The Love

Dear Dia,
          This was the first year that I asked you what you wanted your birthday party theme to be and you said Belle. I was really happy about your choice because I consider it a good one. Belle loves to read, she believes in education and giving yourself a voice. She sees through vanity and realizes that however attractive a person's physical attractiveness may be the power from it can disappear in an instant if that person's virtues and respect for others is not equal to your own. Also she is french (and also brunette like mom). We are also french. The weekend of your birthday some terrorists attacked people my age at a concert in Paris. My heart broke for them, that people who lived in a place I so wanted to connect to just lost their lives having fun with their friends. I cried a couple of times through out those days and you would hug me and kiss me and "take care of me" to help me feel better. You sweetheart. I though it was slightly poetic that we had a french birthday party that weekend. Here are the pictures. (I succeeded in taking them this time).
Love Mommy
