A crazy, fun day!

So I usually hate getting out of bed in the morning...no matter what time it is. But today, I woke up to Taylor calling my name for the very first time! It was the sweetest thing ever! First, I heard her throw her binkie on the floor, and say "Me-me!" (which is what she calls her binkie). Then she started saying "Moooommyyyyy....Mooooommyyyyy!" I smiled, jumped out of bed, opened the door to her room and she said "Mommy!" Good morning, baby :)
After our usual morning routine, we headed to the gym for a quick workout. Then it was back home for a nap, shower, and lunch before Abbie, Peter and Holly came to spend the afternoon with us. They stayed for a few hours and in that time we made and ate almost a whole batch of cookies (the easy, pre-made holiday sugar ones), played with almost every toy that we own, and took a few pictures, too...

Abbie spent most of her time pushing the Little Mermaid car...

Holly was a little concerned that Taylor wasn't taking turns fairly...
...obviously Taylor didn't care!
Abbie and Peter built several cool block houses...
...while Taylor, Holly and I played Ring-around-the-Rosie!
Abbie and Peter's hard work...right before Holly knocked it over!

Not five mintues after they were out the door, Taylor was back in bed for another nap...she was tuckered out from such a busy day! (she's also getting her 3rd canine tooth so she's been extra tired and a tad bit cranky...and hasn't been napping well during the day)
Well, I'm off to get the taco meat started for dinner...the hubby's on his way home! I'll leave you with a picture of my sweet little chick that's sitting on our breakfast nook table. Isn't he adorable?! He matches the little chicks on my blog background :)
