Fall and Winter of 2012

Well it is the end of the year in 2012 and we have so many things to catch up on. One of the biggest milestones and money savers is that Milana is fully potty trained!!!!!  
She worked really hard at it for the past few months but I think getting to pick out her own pretty panties help get her going in the right direction.

In September our friends Marco and Yelina went  to the Wurstmarkt Fest with us.  The girls had lots of fun riding the carnival rides and even the slides with their Papas. 

Our trip to the Wurstmarkt was fun but it was also eventful in that we had to visit the medic tent twice.  Once for David who cut his thumb open on the slide while riding it with Milana and then again when Milana fell got another head injury.  Well we thought it was a head injury when in fact she got cut by a sharp plant causing her head to bleed.  The doctors in the medic tent were super nice and gave her a stuffed teddy bear who we named "Injury Bear".  This kid really needs to stop with the head injuries or she just needs to wear a helmet all the time.  Minus the injuries we had a lot of fun.


Fall quickly turned in winter and that means Christmas!  










Milana is really starting to realize the magic of Christmas. It is so enjoyable to watch her expressions of wonder and amazement at the decorations and of course presents.  







Of course Christmas wouldn't be complete without the tradional cookie plate and appetizer buffet.  I made 7 different types of cookies this year but I couldn't have done it without my special little elf taste testing along the way.  Here is to a healthy and happy 2013.
