I really tried the last couple of years to celebrate lots of holidays with Lily. Some silly and obscure, some more well known.
Today, we celebrated the Chinese new year. It’s the Year of the Dragon.

Project 365: Day 21 – Snow Day
I couldn’t pick just one today.
Project 365: Day 20 – Girls Night In
Lily’s been a great big sister. She helps with her little brother. She tries to keep herself busy when I’m taking care of him.
All that can leave a little girl feeling just a tad neglected.
After Navy goes to bed, Lily gets special time. Since she’s older, and more mature, she gets to stay up a half hour later. During tonight’s time, I gave her a manicure and pedicure. She loves having her nails done, even if they don’t make it through the day.
I will let you in on a little secret: Planning a girls day out in the near future to surprise Lily. No boys allowed, not even baby brothers.
Project 365: Day 17 – Let Them Eat Pie
We went out to Bob’s for dinner. Since we’ve been eating at home more, our weekly ritual of going to Bob’s has gone by the wayside.
Tonight, we went. It’s been forever and I wasn’t in the mood to cook. Lily and Navy both ate great. Big sister shared her fries with little brother.
So, we got pie for dessert. One pie is big enough to share. We.playfully ate our pie. I put whipped cream on Lily’s nose. Navy tried to help himself.
It was just a great way to end our evening. Stuffed, happy, and tired.
Project 365: Day 2 – Bathroom Bandit
Navy discovered the joys of toilet paper today. He found out that all he really has to do is pull in it and more will come. His was fun, until he was discovered.
It was too cute. I watched him for a minute and took a picture before taking in back to the living room and his toys.
Lesson learned. Keep the bathroom door shut when little boys are crawling about. She never did anything like this. He’s fascinated by the bathroom. Just a reminder of how different a baby he is from Lily.
