Wordless Wednesday XXXV - (Aurora vs. my quick and delicious TVP tacos)

**I make these all the time, soooo simple to make. If anyone wants the recipe, let me know. I'm more than happy to share it!

Aurora's Two Year Checkup!!

Aurora had her two year(!!) doctors appointment this month, plus her second trip to the dentist. So far everything is looking great! She's in the 98th percentile for height which isn't really shocking and the doctor said she's really smart and knows quite a bit for her age... If you ask me, she's too smart for her own good already! I love how people are always amazed at how calm she is during appointments. She didn't make a peep during shots or even having her blood drawn! I think the dentist was her favorite though, lots of puzzles to play with, birthday cake flavored toothpaste, a new toothbrush and a sticker?! Someone knows the way into Aurora's heart! Sorry for the low quality phone pictures in this one. I forgot my camera at home, twice!

She's obsessed with the little johnnies

Post appointment trip to the Children's Museum

She loved the water room this time around!

We had dinner at a new restaurant afterwards. This was their veggie 'duck'. It was great!

Doing puzzles in the dentist office

Special lunch date after, for being such a big girl!

Happy Holidays!!

This last month has been crazy! After so many years of celebrating holidays (or not celebrating them) on my own, I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of this crazy non-stop holiday season. We went to Nana Poo (my roommate/bestie's mom)'s house for both a pre-Christmas party the weekend before Christmas and again on Christmas night! We celebrated at our house Christmas morning and hung out in our pajamas watching Christmas movies for most of the afternoon. Here's some pictures of our holidays:

Chomping on some mango.
