Matt’s cousin is in a production of “Go Dog, Go!” so Grammy bought tickets for Tailynn, Megan, herself, and me.  We all went to the show, and had a great time!  You’d think it would be quite difficult to make an hour and a half play out of an 75 word book, and make it entertaining enough that an adult wouldn’t want to do themselves in while watching it, but the show was GREAT!!  I did feel a little bit like a loser because I didn’t bring the book, nor did we bring a stuffed dog with us.  There were copies of that book ALL over the place, and it seemed like everyone had brought a stuffed dog, but was I creative enough to think of that?  NO!  Gah!  Blissfully, Tailynn didn’t notice, therefore there was no asking to purchase a supplemental dog (which they definitely had available…).No photography allowed inside the theater, but here are a few from outside in the lobby, and from T standing over a heating vent.

That was it for this holiday season!  We’ll see what next year brings us. 

The girls each pained their Dizzle a picture for his birthday this year.  Hennessey was finished with hers so quickly that I didn’t even have time to snap a picture between brush strokes, so Tailynn is kind of the feature here.  They both turned out lovely, however. 

Tailynn will make anything out of a dress.  Even my clothes.  She had me fashion this one for her.  She tripped on it a lot, but she was a trooper and demanded to keep it on.  I think she could be one of those girls that, if she likes a pair of shoes that much, it won’t matter how bad they hurt to wear, she’ll remain in ‘em as long as they look good….

Hennessey wants to do everything Tailynn does.

Everything.

So when Tailynn wants to be “in her body” to go to bed, now Hennessey demands to sleep in her body as well (lets hope she doesn’t figure out that diaper thing any time soon, eh?).

The other night Tailynn wanted to wear a nightgown.  So did Hennessey.  But Hennessey doesn’t have any of her own nightgowns, so she borrowed one from Tailynn.

Tailynn gave one graciously.

And they look adorable!

The end.

Oh little Hennessey!  What a little mover and shaker you are now! 

She just started walking not too long before this picture was taken.  She’s also FINALLY got more than six teeth (it quickly went from six to ten!!).  There has also been a drastic increase in verbal skills, such as:
“I want dat.”
“I want dis one.”
“I want ‘nana.”
“I want milk.”
and of course…
“No.”

Sometimes it feels like I have TWO three year olds in the house!

Oh! You can also see some of our new paint colors!  Peach on the right wall, green on the back, and we have a “pumpkin spice” color for our center mantle. 

Tailynn has started *gulp* preschool!!  Here are photos from her first day, and the projects she brought home.  She LOVES it, and talks about her friends and how “Ms. Connie is my friend, mom!”  Her teacher thinks she’s adorable, and while T is at school, Hennessey and I will be going to music class, just the two of us!

Enjoy!

One of the last visits from Cousin Emmy before she leaves for college!
