Lily paid Santa a Visit!
Lily had a chance to see Santa tonight! She told him that she has been a good girl and that she wanted a doll and a kitchen play set for Christmas. (She loves the Kitchen Play Set at school!) Tonight we made treat bags for her friends at school for their holiday party next week. Lily is going to celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and other December holidays from around the world next week at school. She is SO excited!

Lily's Fall Creativity
Lily had a really creative idea this morning.
She woke up and told me that she wanted to collect leaves and laminate them to make a leaf bouquet. I asked her how we would do it, and she told there were steps to follow:
- We have to collect some leaves.
- We have to collect some sticks.
- We have to go on a nature walk to get the leaves and sticks.
- We have to laminate the leaves. (Lily wanted to "save them forever.")
- We have to tape the leaves to the sticks. (We used a glue gun.)
- Then we make a bouquet.
So, we got dressed, and went out for breakfast to talk about our plan. Then we came home and went on our nature walk. We collected lots of leaves and sticks and then came home to laminate the leaves. We cut the leaves out, and used the glue gun to glue the leaves to the sticks, then we made the bouquet. Step by step!

Lily's having fun in the tub!
We tried to go swimming, but the weather is not cooperating. So, we came inside to swim!

Unbelievable Kitten Discovery...
The kittens, so far, have been pretty good. I'm pretty sure our furniture, blinds, and all cords that go with our electronics have their days numbered...but the kitties are cute, and Lily loves them.
We discovered something today, though on Benji. He's got a tortoise shell sort of pattern but the pattern looks as though it is letters that make up the words "JOY" or "LILY," depending on how you look at him. I know I'm projecting onto the cat, but it is kind of neat to see. I'm including pictures with the original pic, and then highlighting pics so you can see what we're seeing...
Strange...but comforting...

The Kitties are here!
Lily is over the moon! We adopted two kittens today from the SPCA, with the help of our friends, Jenny and Brian, who fostered the kittens from birth. The kittens slept behind the couch most of the day, but are vivacious and lively tonight! Lily took many of these pictures herself--she's getting pretty good with the camera! Their names are Benji and Bitsy. Benji was already named, and Bitsy (the lighter one) is named after the nickname that Liz was called as a kid and my grandparent's bakery. We're letting them roam the house tonight as they get used to living with us. So far, they seem to be really loving and I'm thinking they'll end up being lap kitties!

At Playland Beach in Rye, NY
Visiting friends outside of NYC and walking on boardwalk where the movie BIG was filmed. There was a film crew there setting up to shoot the new PAN AM TV show tomorrow. They were trying to make it look like a Caribbean market. The beach here is off of Long Island Sound.

One Year Ago...
One year ago today, we were just getting the news that the surgery went well...
Today, we're celebrating being a year away from all of that. Lily is doing REALLY well. We still have to have MRI's every 3 months for another year or so. (She has the next one on Monday) But things are good right now...and she's having a fantastic time at school, at dance class, and starts playing soccer on Tuesday.
Also, she's the biggest ham on the planet. And we couldn't be more happy...
*the picture is from over the summer with Lily's Nana TT...

Lily Starts Dance Class
Lily started dance class tonight. Out of the 9,000 kids that were there, she was one of 6 that followed directions pretty well. I was amazed at how quickly a migraine could come over me. There were 3 rooms going with different aged dancers--all with different very loud music. I'm done with Nicki Minaj's Super Bass--I won't be listening to it ever again. Lily had a fantastic time, though. She can't wait to go back!
