How Much Wood Could a Woodchuck Chuck...

Pictures With New Camera

Here are a few pictures that I took over the weekend.  I still haven't completely figured out how to upload the pictures.  These ones are copied off of Costco's website after I uploaded them to work on our Christmas cards.  Hopefully the next few posts will be better!

CHEEEESE!

Playing with daddy!

Climbing the stairs.  One of my most favorite things to do!

Love you Mommy!

This is the original picture that I used to make the picture above.

I found my crown and LOVE playing with it, but I HATE this winter coat!

New Camera

I was just looking at the blog and realizing that I haven't written anything for a week now.  I'm blaming this on the fact that we just got a new camera which I'm IN LOVE WITH! 

I think I've taken about 100 pictures in the last three days.  I can't stop.  Brett keeps asking me why I keep taking pictures of the table and all of our decorations.  I don't know, I just can't help it.  I love the thing.  So anyway, I'm still trying to figure out how to hook the thing up to the computer and download pictures to the blog.  Hopefully I'll have some time over the next couple days with the blizzard coming.

One quick thing about Riley...last night I got out her A, B, C books:

I put them all on the floor and picked up two books and asked her to point to the "a" or point to the "b."  To my surprise she was able to identify the alphabet up to about "g"  when she lost interest.  Who knows, may it was just a fluke?  But, she got every one right.  What a smart little thing. 

Hopefully I'll have a couple more posts by the end of the week with some pictures!

And The Countdown Begins

Riley with her advent calendar from Grandma and Grandpa Burch:

It's Beginning To Look A Bit Like Christmas

We started to get out all of our decorations for Christmas.  Here is our little girl "helping" Mom and Dad:

We are going to finish decorating this week and hopefully I'll have some more pictures!

Disney On Ice

All of the Burch and Murphy girls went to see Disney On Ice Wednesday night.  I was a bit worried that Riley wouldn't hold up for the whole show, but she did great.  To my surprise she wanted to stand up, dance, and clap for most of the show.  I think that she thought the music and audience claps were all for her.  She had the biggest grin all night and was dancing like a fool.  She only kicked the lady next to us once so that was good.  I'm surprised she didn't get slapped in the face by Riley's flailing arms!  Riley's cousin, Addie, was also very entertaining. 

Some memorable quotes from Addie Burch: "Mommy, where's her head?" - There was a dress sitting on a headless stand. "Where's her shirt?" One of the princesses had a bra top on. "Who's in that crab?" 

Here is a picture of the girls and a pretty princess:
