December 25th ~ Christmas

Bailey was given the task of taking all the Christmas gifts brought by the Grandmas to put underneath the tree. She LOVES having a job to do and did so well bringing them all one by one :-)

And she helped everybody open their presents...

Love this photo of Bailey & Gramma!


Reading to her bears (she now has "Green" & "Yellow" to add to the mix!)....



Bailey & I got a squishy soft snuggle blanket that we put to good use!


Loved the "poppers". So hard to get this girl to move on to the next present! lol

The big gift, her kitchen! The first word out of her mouth was "wooowww"

Playing with Uncle "Geeve" (Steve)




Mom caught me out in the snow getting the mail and requested a belly shot :-)



Lots of homemade book type gifts to look at this year....

And just the very fact that Dad was here with us, not at the hospital was a gift!

Happy Birthday Greg!

December 24th ~ Christmas Eve

It's been melting since last night! I can actually see my car today!


Ready to play, rain or shine!

What is it about snow that makes you just HAVE to have a hot chocolate??
Making it from scratch....

Yummy!!!

Once again - playdough to entertain! I'm trying soooo hard not to turn the TV on! It's so hard when I'm trying to get so much stuff done & I know if I just put Blue's Clues or Dora on she will be completely entertained, leaving me to get all my chores and cooking done! But I did a great job & we were totally TV-free today! AND I got the majority of food for Christmas prepped!

Everything I'm making for tomorrow is TOTALLY lowfat! ;-)

Playing Santa that night ;-)

Joie's stocking :-)
