Merry Christmas!

The Friday before the Christmas holiday, I took Taylor out into the snow and Jeff, our neighbor pulled her around in the sled! Here is a shot of Taylor enjoying the snow!




Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We all had a wonderful Christmas, spent with family and friends! We spent Christmas Eve at Tony's parents house and enjoyed the frigid weather as best we could. Taylor's Uncle Keith and cousins, Joshua, Kayla and Nick also came for dinner and presents. After the wonderful dinner of ham, sweet potatoes, tuna salad and rice pilaf, we opened presents... which the kids were very excited to do! We had a great time, and each received such wonderful gifts! Taylor got some clothes, a pull along doggie, some toddler cars, and stuffed animals. Grandpa also made her a beautiful wooden toy box! And that was just from Grandma and Grandpa! From Uncle Keith we got some clothes (which Tony loves - a shirt says "Daddy thinks he's in charge") and, of course a drum set!





We came home, visited with Jeff, Renee and Ashley for a little while, and then put Tay to bed. Later that night Santa must have visited because there were more presents than originally under the tree! Tony and I awoke around 8 am, but we let Tay sleep in an hour. We went and woke Tay up (she will sleep until 11am if we let her!) and opened presents! From us Taylor got a Little Peoples Barn and some Little People people. From Santa she received a beautiful overall dress and cowboy boots, along with a bucket of beads.







After opening presents at home we got ready for the day and went to Bushka's for breakfast. We made omelets and potatoes cakes. We then opened presents. From Bushka and Grandpa Mike Taylor got some clothes, a wooden sled (just her size) and a lion walker. She looks so precious on the lion! At about 4 pm we headed home and enjoyed the rest of our day.







Happy Holidays Everyone! Have a safe New Year!

Thanksgiving and Santa!

We awoke Thanksgiving morning to snow! Yep, 4 inches of the white stuff! Tay really loves to watch it fall! We enjoyed our morning and then we went to my Grandparents house for dinner. There Taylor was able to meet her Great Grandfather and her "PaPa." This was the first time either of them had met her. Overall Taylor did very well, and she really enjoyed the food! She was up all day with no nap and was very well behaved! Thanksgiving was a great day and it was proven to be so as Taylor FINALLY sat up on her own! A few days later she was off crawling all over the place. We are waiting for the day when she lets go of the furniture and walks away!


On December 9th we took Taylor to see Santa and give her the opprotunity to tell him what she wanted for Christmas. She sat with him and got her picture taken, but there was no smile... We are just happy that she wasn't screaming!


Now that we are getting ready for Christmas, Taylor is enjoying all the lights and the ornaments. We have to be very careful now so we are constantly watching her every move! Yesterday the gate went up on the stairs as Taylor finally figured out how to climb them!

Here is picture for you all... Taylor in all her glory!
