Cute Brown Dress and Making Frosting

This is Ariana's new dress. I think it is so cute. It is hard to tell from the pictures but it is brown with light pink dots. She looks so grown up in it.

By this time she was tired and finished: she is saying "no!" in this one.

Ariana and I made a cake for the secretary at my school who is leaving. These pictures are of Ariana "guestimating" the amount of powdered sugar for the frosting. :) As you can see she was very neat and clean.

Chocolate Face!

We were on a long walk and she had eaten the snacks I brought her. She was making the sign for eat and asking for food so I got her an ice cream sandwich. Enough said. Isn't she cute though?

Flowers

One of my parents gave me some tulips and Ariana was fascinated with them. She wanted everyone and everything to smell them - even the CD player!

Merrell Family Christmas Party

These pictures were taken the day after Christmas at the Merrell/Bauermeister/Boyles/Steinberg/Whipple/Stoughton family party.

Ariana was really suffering from allergies and eczema.  She looks much better now.

Grandma and Grandpa Steinberg

Opening the Elmo phone.  She loves it and right now she thinks Elmo on the phone is one of the funniest things ever.  

Kisses from daddy!

Toes!  Nummy nummy toes!

Sharing Jade's chair

This one was so funny because she was having really bad problems with her skin and allergies and a she had a runny nose. She grabbed onto the bottle and looks drunk, but I promise she didn't have any! I think this may be one of those "blackmail" pictures to use when she is older though.

Playing with the new backdrops

Here are some of the fun pictures we took in front of my new greenish-grayish backdrop. Ariana was really hamming it up.
