Turn Up the Magic

Lainey turned 3 last Saturday (while we were on vacation and thus the reason for the late posting).  In honor of her 3rd year I thought I’d share some of her likes, dislikes and just plain Laineyness.
Likes: Big dogs, Silky blankets, Dancing, Swimming, Purses, Play Cell Phones, Lakyn
Dislikes: Little yippie dogs (they freak her [...]

Bowl O Fun

 The neighborhood gang went bowling yesterday and it was the first time for 3 of the kids… Lainey, Jared and Chase… obviously since Lainey is 2, Jared is 18 months old and Chase is only 2 months old.  Lainey loved the fact that it was something she could do it in her socks (they do [...]

Dogzilla

 Grandma Dedi got Lainey an indoor/outdoor pop-up playhouse that is the size of an apartment!   We put it up in our family room (temporarily) just to see if she’d like it and found out that all 3 of our Great Danes liked it as much as Lainey.  It’s so big that it has 2 [...]

A Griswold Family Christmas

 ”Clark, the little lights aren’t twinkling.”  Well, the Griswold’s had yet another fun-filled Christmas this year starting with Lainey (our 2-year-old) permanently knocking out power to half of our Christmas tree and ending the evening by throwing up all over herself, Jay and her carseat.   There were some good times in between though…. like [...]

And to all a Goodnight

Merry Christmas to all…
 
Look how optimistic my girls are as they prepare for Santa’s visit tonight.  Won’t they be disappointed when they get coal?  :)  Kidding, of course… well at least I think so… no one really knows what Santa’s got in that big bag. 

Still Scared of the Big Man

  
Lakyn and Lainey got their picture taken with Santa today and as we assumed, Lainey is still very leery of the big man.  We went over to the Worthington Mall so that Lakyn wasn’t see by any of her Middle School friends while sitting on Santa’s lap (and there are no lines there).

Lainey’s Favorite Person Ever

Lainey’s favorite person in the world is Lainey.  Here she is watching herself in my laptop webcam.  

Elf on the Shelf

Today a package arrived in the mail for Lakyn and Lainey from their Grandma Dedi that will add a new tradition to our family Christmas.  She got the girls the “Elf on the Shelf” set.  If you haven’t seen this, you are missing out.  It is such a genius idea!   It is a little [...]

Healing

Just a quick post to show how well Lainey Bird is healing after getting her stitches out last Friday.  (Pardon the cellphone picture, the scar is above her left eye.) By the way, we have the toughest kid the pediatrician has seen.  Lainey didn’t even notice the stitches being pulled out, she just kept talking and [...]
