Six months old!

Erin turned six months old yesterday. It's hard to believe that it's been half a year since Erin joined our family. She must have checked the calendar because for the past two nights she has slept 11 hours in a row - woo hoo!

I guess 8 hours of sleep went to my head -- this afternoon Mary Clare and I made these Christmas trees. They are ice cream cones covered in melted white chocolate chips (with green food coloring mixed in), and covered with mini-M&Ms. Mary Clare had a great time making them (and eating the icing and candy). Tomorrow is the Christmas party at Mary Clare's school -- I think we'll give these to her two teachers as gifts.

This morning, we had a play date at Mary Clare's friend (and school mate) John's house. We were early and the two toddlers had fun playing "Ring around the Rosie" together.










Here's an extra shot of Mary Clare wearing her reindeer antlers from Sunday's party.
