Happy New Year 2014

All of our company has been gone for a few days,

but we still have a few left over photos to share.

I thought this one was appropriate for today.

It's a new day and a new year.

Piper has started off this year as an only child,

but that will soon expire.

We know she will be a fabulous big sister

and can't wait to see the love that our two children will share.

The future is so bright,

we need to wear shades

(even inside)!

Happy New Year everyone!

All the best to you all in 2014!!

Coolest Big-Sister-to-Be ever!

And being the only grand-daughter,
she totally has Poppy wrapped around her little finger.
First she gets him to wear the cupcake apron
and now the pink sunglasses.
I need to coach her to start asking him for money!!!!!

Anxious for Spring

Our new house is pretty spacious and open,

but not enough for wagon rides!

That didn't stop Piper from convincing

ALL of her Nannies and Poppies to take her for rides though.

Only a couple were caught on camera,

but trust me,

no one got off the hook with this one!

xo

Nanny "Gandy" was quickly put to work!

Poppy Pope had to help with a little navigating once or twice.

Poppy Lynch was also on duty!!
I think Blue was jealous!

Four Generations

Like great-grandmother,

like grandmother,

like mother,

like daughter!

I love this photo!!

There is just one question to be asked:

Is this photo being crashed by a teeny tiny person with a teeny tiny penis????

Or is it another lovely lady?

Only 8.5 weeks until we all find out!

Unless baby is following Piper's schedule,

which would mean that we all find out in 4 weeks.

I know I'm biased, but I think I have the cutest daughter of the bunch! ;-)

Turkey Coma

Yes, 

we've all heard of a Turkey Coma,

but this was a bit much.

Piper didn't even finish what she was eating before she passed out.

It may have had something to do with the excitement of Christmas Day,

or with having all of her grandparents around,

or of having skipped her nap,

but either way

that turkey kicked in faster than I've ever seen before.

I'm not going to lie,

I was very envious of her at that point.

I wanted to put my head down and sleep too.

xo

It all started off as fun and games...

... until two bites later.
(Notice her hand is still in her plate. I think she may even have been still chewing!) 

Okay, so we had a little fun with this photo.
The wine bottle and Mommy's wine glass filled with ginger ale
were too close to pass up. 

Zzzzzzzzz.... straight through dinner.

It took a while to wake her up after wards,
but she was running around wreaking havoc again in no time!

Queen of the Kitchen

The new kitchen that Santa brought for Piper

was a hit.

She LOVES it.

She has spent every day since Christmas

preparing and serving meals for all of her grandparents.

Boxing day was a special occasion,

so she got dressed up before preparing her 

orange and pepper soup.

Thank you to Nanny Lynch for such a beautiful dress.

We all think Piper looks exceptionally cute in blue.

xo

A little over-dressed for cooking,
but no one complained! 

Adding a little pepper to her 'orange soup'.

Busy busy busy!

Boxing Day braids that a 20 year old would kill for!

Baker's Secret

Do you think Betty Crocker or Duncan Hynes'

family photos looked like this?

xo

Yes... Poppy is wearing a cupcake apron... 

... and yes, Piper is wearing rubber boots!

A PEI Family Christmas

Merry Christmas to all

(even if I am a day late)!

Family first - blog second.

There will be lots of time for better posts

once everyone has gone back home.

Well... that's until the Littlest Lynch arrives

and then you'll be lucky to get any posts at all!

Ha!

Only 9 weeks to go until his/her due arrival,

but we all know that this Lynch family is not very punctual,

so who really knows!

Piper had an AMAZING Christmas.

She was so excited to see that Santa had brought her presents!

After opening one,
she would "ohhhh and awwww" over it
before exclaiming,
"more presents"!

She did get a little tired of it all in the end
(yes, there were enough presents to tire a 1 year old)
and she became much more interested in her stocking.

It was then that she noticed her table and chair set
from Nanny Grandy.

THEN she noticed her wagon from Nana and Poppy Pope.

THEN she noticed her kitchen from Santa.

THEN she played and played and played.

I'm not sure I've seen her since! Ha!

More Christmas photos and funny stories to come!

xo

Piper's entourage as she made her way to the Christmas tree.
If they all had had their cameras,
it would have been like the paparazzi.  

Wow. Santa sure did come here!
The amazing thing about this tree is that 95% of the gifts
were sent to Piper from family and friends.
We feel so loved and blessed!!! 

Piper showing Blue how to get into his new bed! 

Checking out her new doll from Nanny and Poppy Lynch.
She thought the doll was nice,
but she is in LOVE with the doll's little stuffed bunny rabbit toy.
I'm sure you will see posts about him in the future! 

After getting tired of opening presents,
she moved on to her stockings.
CHOCOLATE was the key ingredient here! 

Discovering her wagon! 

And discovering her new kitchen!
Santa DID read her letter!!!

Teaching Poppy how to cook. 

The aftermath.
