Fun at school.

Dylan just loves her friends and teachers at school.

Friends:  Kellan, Clara, Sydney, Julie, Eli, and Gabby

Teachers:  Sturai and Deanna

 "Look at my star!"

New fashion accessory.

Tiaras and silly faces go good together.

Daddy's glasses...  he's brave for letting her wear them.  She has a track record of breaking them.

Bathtime with the cousins.

Dylan loves bathtime...  but it's so much more fun with cousins.

Dylan, Olive, and Araya - all clean!

Fun with Friends!

Dylan lives for playdates!!!

 Monroe, Gray, Dylan, Ella, and Asher

Asher and Ella on Rody

  Who knew a crib could be so fun?

 Barney...  these kids are totally mesmerized.

2 princesses...  Cousin Araya and Dylan.

 Dylan putting MoMo to sleep.

Scabby face and sick day... life is hard sometimes

Dylan fell twice at school and this is how she came home.  Sad day for mom and dad.  Although Dylan was doing fine.

 Despite her scabby face...  Dylan was happy Coco came for a visit.

 Fall at school then a few days later...  fever.  It was a hard week for the pickle.

 Sick day...  relaxing at home with Olivia on her iPhone (not spoiled at all!)

Wednesday lunch with Minah

Shut Up and Eat.  Usually is really yummy but I ventured from my usual (Broad St Bomber aka philly cheesesteak) and was disappointed.  We were just going to have lunch but I was so bummed about my lunch that we went in search of something sweet for me.  We ended up walking for an hour in search of this sweet treat.  So we got exercise and I got my treat.

Christmas after Christmas.

Since we were out of town visiting family in Seattle, we had to ask Santa to come after Christmas.  Only a week later though.  This post is extremely tardy.

Leaving Santa and his reindeer some cookies, carrots, and milk.

Merry Christmas!  Santa came!

 Dylan asked for a Pooh Bear when she saw Santa this year at Sleighbells.  So...  since she was a good girl...  he came through.

 She also got a kitchen! Which she LOVES!

 And the last big present...  a balance bike.  She's not quite sure about it yet but hopefully by our 4th of July trip to Camp Sherman, she'll get the hang of it.

 AND, Santa left her a cookie!  She was a little upset about setting out cookies the night before and not getting to eat one.  

 She also got this cool headband from one of her teachers from school - who she loves.

Wednesday hike and lunch with Minah.

What a nice winter day in Portland!  We were trying to snow shoe at Mirror Lake but couldn't find a way to park and access the trail head.  So we hiked in the Wildwood Rec Area instead.  It was beautiful and felt great to be outside.

 The reward for our hard work...  lunch at The Truffle Hunter in Gresham.  We can't ever remember where we ate the week before so Minah and I decided to post pics on our blog of our Wednesday dates.

Playdates!

My hobby:  Dylan and her playdates!

Here she is with Mia at Children's Museum.

 Breakfast at the Brite Spot with Gray and Monroe.

 Building blocks with Asher and Ella.  Dylan LOVES Asher and talks about him often even though she doesn't see him everyday in school anymore.  So happy to have playdates!

 More blocks.

 Hailey and Dylan at the zoo.  Cold but sunny...  beautiful winter day in Portland.
