Working hard

Gingerbread House

Natalie had a great time building her first gingerbread house. She quickly discovered that the decorations were actually edible but I managed to convince her we can't eat them until Christmas!

American Girl Store

For Natalie's birthday we took her to the American Girl store in Chicago. She has been admiring the dolls in the catalogs for a few months now and she was so excited when she got her very own Julie doll. We had a great time exploring the store (although Natalie did not understand why she could not have everything...especially Julie's $90 bike). We also had a fun lunch with Gaga and Papa! This store is a little girl's dream. I am sure we will be going back there for years to come!

Happy Birthday Natalie!

Natalie turned 3 on December 2nd! We cannot believe our baby has become this funny, sweet, smart little girl! We love you Natalie Bean!
