We've been spending most of our days inside lately because either Taylor has been sick or it's been really cold out. We are getting close to having our basement done, so we've (Troy) been working down there a lot too.

Taylor's been taking care of 4 babies!!!
All loaded up in the grocery cart!

Just being cute :)

Little Fashion Girl

Taylor is REALLY into picking out her own clothes lately. It used to just be the shoes she would want to pick out, but now it is the whole outfit! Needless to say this doesn't make my mornings go very smoothly. On the weekends, I just don't fight it. Here is last weekends outfit (it was about 2 degrees out).

She thought the hat would look good too!
She was soooo proud of this one today...couldn't wait to show Daddy!

I realize I need to move her warmer clothes to the bottom drawers so she can reach something appropriate!

Snow Fun!

The sun actually came out the other day, so we played outside for awhile. Taylor really liked it and didn't want to come inside!

Making a snowball
Shoveling the snow

and dumping right back on the driveway for Daddy!

And Taylor's last Christmas gift arrived. Aunt Dodie sent this school bus with blocks a long time ago, but the postman somehow sent it to New Jersey! Taylor likes building a tower on top the bus and then of course knock it over!

Bellaboo's

On our last day in Crown Point, we went to Bellaboo's...an indoor play center for kids. It was a little crowded that day, but Taylor had a good time. Here she is in the water room.

and in the train room
doing some watercolor painting in the art studio
hard at work in the pizza parlor

getting ready to eat!

Dybowski Christmas

Our last Christmas was with Oma and Opa. They got Taylor an easel desk...it was too big to bring home with us, so they are bringing it tomorrow!

and her very first tricycle!
Opening a cool wheelbarrow from Uncle Blake!
Blake got Taylor a real (pretend) microphone....she liked to go around and make everyone sing!

Larkins Christmas

Last Sunday morning we headed to Crown Point to celebrate Christmas with Troy's family. We first went to Grandma and Grandpa Larkins' house.

Daddy is helping with Taylor's new coffee pot!
Singing into her flashlight (which she thinks is a microphone).

Her face doesn't show it, but she loves this new house/tunnel!

Parker Christmas

We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at Grandma and Grandpa Parker's house. Taylor decorated some cookies before bed on Christmas Eve.

Opening new dishes on Christmas morning!
Trying out my new sled!

That afternoon we went to Aunt Marcy's house. Taylor had so much fun there! Taylor and Ashton took a break to try out their new art supplies.

Back at Grandma's playing with new Play-doh!
