Tonight Payton wanted to play hide and seek. It's so funny how she will hide while you count but then run out at you before you even get a chance to go find her. When she does count she counts 1-10 then 11, 12, 14, 14, 16 before yelling ready or not here I come. She likes to hide in the same places over and over.
Then she wanted to play tag, we had to end the fun there, we cannot play tag in our house :)

Williamsburg
Last weekend we went to Williamsburg to the outlets. Payton and Reagan were very good girls. Payton got new shoes which look like spaceships which she is excited about, when I tried to put her princess sneaker shoes on her last Friday she told me they hurt her feet.
She ate a lot at the Chinese buffet lo mein and sweet and sour chicken pieces, Payton was free because Tung told the waitress she was 2 :) We weren't going to pay for a girl that never eats anything, and then surprise, surprise, she ate! Reagan ate a napkin.
Yankee Candle was fun too and I wish I'd taken the camera, I had no idea it was such a winter wonderland inside, it even snows every 15 min or so and there was a cool bridge with lots of decorated Christmas trees and little lit up villages that would have been fun for a picture...now we know.
Payton saw Santa right away before we'd even seen him, she started crying and said "Mommy I don't want my picture with Santa, and I don't want Reagan to have her picture with Santa either!"
Our Christmas tree is decorated, but the bottom layer of branches is missing a lot of needles, Payton hung all the ornaments on the bottom herself, and continues to re-hang them every night when she comes home, all the off and on has many needles piled up on the ground. But she's very proud of herself and thinks it's fun. Reagan likes to look at the lights.
Reagan is reaching for toys and trying to sit up, she rolls over a lot now front to back and is so close to rolling from back to front, she just can't get her little chubby legs all the way over! I bet she will though within the next week.

Payton's Birthday week
We started off Payton's birthday week last Sunday with taking her to Disney On Ice. Grandma watched Reagan so Tung and I could take Payton special just with us. She wore her special birthday dress, sparkle shoes and crown. We had a great time! She wasn't so sure about the Cars and Lion King but was totally glued to the Little Mermaid and the Fairies. After it was over and we were leaving she got really upset and we had no idea why, so we stopped and asked her what was wrong. She was upset that everyone else had a "treat" and she didn't. They had SO much stuff for sale and it was so expensive we weren't going to pay $10 for a snowcone or whatever, so we told her we'd stop and get her a cookie before going home. She was fine with that and we stopped and got Oreo's at Food Lion :)
Tuesday night, we made cupcakes for her birthday party at Gail's house. She's all about helping dump in the ingredients and she cracks me up trying to say the word "ingredient" she almost has it exactly right.
Yesterday when we came home, she asked me if she could have a cupcake, I told her no to wait until after dinner and we could eat one after we put the frosting on, she had this sneaky little smile on her face and pulled a cupcake out from behind her back. She'd climbed up on the counter and taken one and already started to unwrap it! So I caved and we ate cupcake then, and then had another after we frosted them. She helped dump in and sift all the powdered sugar and then just kept wanting to stick her finger in the bowl and lick the frosting!
Friday was her party at Miss Gail's, she was most excited for the goody bags. She must have asked me if I had them 5 times, I forget everything else, I guess she was afraid I'd forget those too! She loved all of her presents and even slept in the new princess crown and high heel play shoes.

Saturday all of our friends and family came and we had a great time. Payton got a lot of princess stuff and dresses, does everyone know her or what?! We had a lot of fun.
Sunday afternoon we just relaxed, Payton painted and I saw Reagan grab her toes for the first time. Tung said he'd seen her do it before but I didn't know that, but I saw her for the first time grab them. It's so fun to see her starting to show her personality.
What a great weekend, and I'm glad it's only a 3 day week because I'm excited to have 4 whole days with my family!

Gingerbread Men
Payton just couldn't wait any longer to make the gingerbread cookies that Nannie sent her in the box, so we made them tonight. They are all hers because she put every single gumdrop in her mouth and sucked off all the sugar before she decorated the cookies! Here's the finished product!

Cars and Pies
Payton was outside waiting for her Daddy to put on his coat so they could go to the swings. When he came out, Payton was already near the end of the driveway, Tung told her to wait for him because cars might drive by and hit her. She said "OK, I don't want the cars to squish me into a pie!"
