this weekend

Lilja and I had a stay home day on Friday so we decided to make some cupcakes for Daddy's belated birthday ( I was sick last week with the stomach flu) This is Lilja's first time using the blender. She has always been scared of loud noises, and this one is an ancient one , but she did great...

she took the task very seriously, but the counter did not look like that when she was done

that night we ended up going to Chavalo's for his belated birthday.. Usually Aran can choose, but there was a snowstorm, so going to Durango was out of the question. Lilja decided on this restaurant.

they do a great job making yu feel festive. One of the waiters went to town with aran's whipcream on his face.. Lilja was not impressed by that.

What do you do on a snowstorm day?? You make a house out of the new car seat box. Lilja is getting bigger and she is ready for the last car seat. this one has a harness and you can use the real seat belt when she is over 40 pounds.. that will still take a while I think..

she wanted a door, a square and a round window.

I made a flower around this one. tired girl??

she took a long time decorating the inside

and the outsid.. crayons were the art supply of choice today..

even Maggie joined in on the fun. Some how Maggie did not like one of the monkeys to be inside the house and took it out each time.. too funny!

Today the decorating is done, and the house comes to each room with her. Millie,the pink cat and sweetheart, a little brown monkey are now co-habituating in the house..

Queen Lilja  get it??

we got some new snow today so we went on a walk..

 

all the way up the hill and then we went down the steep way!!
