This past weekend it’s been a daddy-daughter weekend, oh, and New Year Eve. Saturday, while I did some things around the house Craig and Dagny headed to the zoo. I really wished I could of joined them because this is my favorite time to go. Cold weather equals no people. From Dagny’s big smile when they got home they had a great time. Later in the evening we all played some Wii.
Dagny was very smitten with Craig all weekend.
Dagny had her annual New Year’s Day carousal ride.
Happy New Year to all! Barbara, Craig, and Dagny This year we stayed in Rochester and had a very low key Christmas. We really wanted Dagny to have a Christmas at home, in her own bed, and wake Christmas morning to presents under the tree. It was great! Here is my little girl on Christmas Eve. So I ask you, when did she get so big?!
My silly family. These two are so goofy. Love them so much!
Dagny with her Agi Mama.
Craig and Dagny baked homemade chocolate chip cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve. She also wanted to leave carrots for the reindeer. It was very important that there was enough for all the reindeer anything less was not an option!
I made (painted) the Santa plate for Dagny a couple of months ago. I am so happy it turned out good, but more with the fact that Dagny loves it.
Christmas morning. One excited little girl.
First thing Dagny ran for was the BIG teddy bear that Craig got her. My girl loves her bears!
Hola-Hoop time.
Here is Miss Rock-Star!
Our child is officially plugged-in. D got a shuffle from Agi Mama and its filled with all her favorite tunes.
I just love this photo. Taking a moment to herself to color.
After a long morning of opening gifts and playing, a nap was in order.
Love to all. Barbara This weekend was booked solid with Dagny activities. I already mentioned the Polar Express and her Holiday Show. Then today she had a birthday party in the morning and in the afternoon she had her first ice skating lesson at our old stumping ground, RIT. We have been preparing her that it’s not going to be easy at first. That she will fall, a lot! She has genuinely been very excited about going. There were no tears, lots of smiles, and laughter. We will mark this as a success.
Barbara Dagny had her first Holiday show tonight. We had hopes that Dagny would be a little more “active” in this recital compared to the one from June. She’s been much more excited about dance this year. Now a days she comes home and wants to show us what she has learned. That was never the case last year. She’s taken a new turn, I guess. But, still we didn’t know what would happen when she got on stage. As I heard the music start up, I really believe I stopped breathing. Then the curtains opened and there was my little girl doing her dance without an ounce of shyness or apprehension on her part. That’s when I started breathing again and a huge smile came on my face. I can’t explain how much pride I had in my daughter at that moment. She rocked it! The girls. It’s so great that she is taking dance with one of her close friends.
-Proud Ma and Pa All aboard! Where are we going? To the North Pole of course. We’ve been waiting patiently for Dagny to be old enough, by our standards, to take a ride on the Polar Express. We are so glad we waited, it was absolutely magical. She was adsorbed in the whole experience, which in turn Craig and I were too just by watching her. We can’t wait to take the ride again next year.
Reading along in the book to the Polar Express story.
Dagny with the Hobo.
Seeing Santa!
Dagny’s time with the big man.
The hug.
First gift of the season!
Barbara This year we celebrated Thanksgiving in Ohio with Craig’s family. We decided to take Dagny to Doodle Bugs in the morning while we packed the car and took care of things around the house. We have done this in the past and find this works best all around. Dagny is able to work some energy off before a long trip and we don’t have to worry about a 4-year-old slowing us down. The men of the family requested something non traditional for Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey is overrated anyway, but prime rib is not. Yum.
The Johnsons.
Here are my two loves doing the chicken dance. Can I just say how much I love these two.
And, here is my goofy child. She has taken the ham factor up a few notches lately. Love. her.
We got back in town on Saturday, which gave us Sunday to go out and get our Christmas tree. This year we decided that Dagny, and mom and dad, were old enough to truly enjoy the experience of picking and cutting a Christmas tree.
I love this photo that Dagny took of us.
My big girl.
Craig and I surprised Dagny with her very own Christmas tree for her bedroom. She is so excited about having her own. She had a blast decorating it and us watching her.
-Barbara Bonus Photo: I love this girl so much!
Today is my little girl’s 4th birthday. Not quite sure how that happened, I mean she was just one yesterday. In the morning, when Dagny came downstairs, she saw her presents waiting for her.
Here is my silly 4-year old.
She had a very busy day. Craig and I picked her up early from “school” and we took her out to dinner. Afterward she had gymnastic where parents were invited to sit in and observe.
The long day ended by us surprising Dagny with a birthday cake. Here is her reaction.
Happy Birthday, Sweet Pea! Barbara Halloween gets better every year where Dagny is concerned. She had so much fun at her school celebration, which included a parade and trick-or-treating. She got plenty of practice for the evening in our neighborhood.
Little D looking over her loot, after a great night out trick-0r-treating with her friend, Greta.
And, the winner is for the first candy eaten… a hamburger shaped gummy.
Bonus: I just love this photo of my little ladybug!
Barbara Saturday, was Dagny’s birthday party. Because her birthday is so close to Thanksgiving, we figured we would go ahead and move the party up a couple of weeks. It worked out good, because almost everyone we invited was able to make it. The party was at Kango Play Center. We’ve been there twice before, a birthday party and a play date. Needless to say, Dagny fell in love with the place. We gave her a few options and Kango was the winner hands down.
She wanted a pink and purple cake with Spider-Man on it. Can I just say how much I love this girl!
Someone got shy with all the attention on her.
Ah, the gifts. D made out like a bandit.
Love these three girls so much. They are the Three Musketeers. Three wise monkeys.
Dagny has some pretty wonderful friends. The next day it was about playing with all her new toys. Here is one of the many great gifts she received. She LOVES her tree house.
I was able to pull her away long enough to take her to see the OrKidstra Runaway Bunny. Kids were encourage to dress up in their Halloween costumes. Here she is waiting for the show to start.
Here are the two girls enjoying the candy they received after the show.
It was a fun filled weekend. Happy Pre Birthday, Dagny! Barbara |
