Cinderella Before the Ball

Poor Cinderella has to clean before the ball...

Evil Stepmother, can I be done cleaning?

Ugh, the hairy, evil step brother--Kaizer

Hmmm...is this the glass slipper or a doggy treat?

Run! Run as fast as you can to the prince!

Piper got a real tutu and as you can tell, she is really excited about wearing it. The little superman shirt is Rich's from when he was little. She is sooooo cute!!!!!!!!

Toochies!

We made Christmas cookies on Sunday. Piper has yet to master the /c/ or /k/ sound, so cookies are toochies to her. A little messy, but lots of fun.

The curls are making a comeback! Yay!

Visiting Mommy

I found this old photo of when Piper came to visit my classroom. I wish I had more pictures. It looks like she's just one of the kids.

Happy Birthday Mama!

Daddy surprised mama with a horse and carriage ride around Prospect Park for her birthday. Piper LOVED seeing the horses up close and it was a beautiful day.

Our horse -- "Tinkerbell"

(We gave Piper her 1st haircut this night. In an effort to "even out" her very uneven hair I had to chop off that wacky curl! So sad.)

The beautiful park

Snack time

Piper got to feed Tinkerbell carrots when we got back
