The Days Following Christmas

Here are a bunch of photos from the days/weeks following Christmas.

Uncle Jason & Taylor playing with her new pony...

Taylor got her hands on one of Mommy's Christmas presents and thought she would give it a try...a Nintendo DS...uh oh!!!

Love the look of concentration...



Tinkerbell Taylor

Taylor loves her new Play doh table...it's even her favorite colors.

I love this picture of Taylor...not sure why, but I do.

Saturday morning, we weren't quick to do anything. We laid around, enjoyed the long weekend and took a bunch of pictures of Taylor being silly. I just kept snapping the photos and thought some turned out pretty cute.

I LOVE THIS PICTURE!!!

We have enough "play food" to house a supermarket!!!

Sledding on Sunday...

Taylor loves her new train table...she also loves the fact that she has a new hiding spot...

Daddy likes the train table too...

Christmas Morning

Here a just a few photos from Christmas morning. Most of our photos are on the video camera, and I am not sure how to upload those, so these are just from my camera.

Christmas Eve...Taylor left a nice spread for Santa and his reindeer. She was very curious on Christmas morning as to where her carrots went. We kept telling her the reindeer ate them and she wasn't impressed with our story.

Loving the new kitchen........

This trampoline is the coolest little thing...plus it tuckers her right out.

It was such a fun filled day. One post just doesn't do it justice. Stay tuned for the days after Christmas. We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!!!

And a HUGE thanks to everyone for everything. Taylor LOVES all her new toys!!!

The Days Leading Up To Christmas

These are a bunch of different photos from the weeks leading up to Christmas. All 3 of us had the week of Christmas off, so it was nice to just sit home, relax, enjoy our family, bake and do all the fun things there are to do.

Chris' birthday, as most of you know, is December 23rd. We made him a pancake breakfast and Taylor insisted on putting candles on the pancakes...notice she had one too.

Happy Birthday Daddy! We love you!!!

Taylor really enjoyed playing with all the presents this year. She moved them around every day. These pictures were taken on the day that I realized she has just enough hair to get a pony tail in!!!

Making Daddy's pancakes...

Making cookies for Santa.......

Taylor's best buddy at school, Caleb. This was after their grand performance!!!

Christmas program at daycare...they sang a little blurb from 5 Christmas songs. It was way cute!

Visit To See Santa

This year Taylor saw Santa on 3 different occasions. Each time got a little easier for her. The first time she was all excited to go, marched right in, took a glimpse at the big guy and became extremely nervous. We all sat with Santa to ease the tension. From there we went to the kid's Christmas party that Chris' work puts on. The Santa there was handing out chocolate, so Taylor was all about sitting on his lap and even smiled for a picture. The 3rd time was at the daycare Christmas program, and she did well there too.
