Christmas Eve at Pappy and Granna's

We celebrate Christmas with CTW's family on Christmas Eve and my family on Christmas Day. By the time we got ready to open presents both days she was wiped and overdue for a nap so excuse the paci in some of the shots.

Nap with George

OK loves her Curious George doll. It mostly stays in the car so she can have a riding mate in the back seat. I picked it up at Kohls when they had it on sale for the Kohls for Kids event. The money goes to Kids' organizations. I had one when I was little so I thought it would be fun for her to have one too.

Christmas With Friends

Since I am so far behind with my posts I am including several events in one post. We had several dinners with friends over the Christmas holidays. We are so blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives. We love each of you and we appreciate that you love our little girl.

Christmas Parade

My oldest nephew was in his first Christmas Parade in Chesnee so we made a trip up there on a very cold Sunday to support him. I can't believe he is already 14. It makes me so sad to think that he will be graduating in 3 years. He has always been my baby. I was 14 when he was born and he stayed with me most of the time. He was either at my house or I was at his. He will always be my baby no matter how much he grows. Here are a few pictures.

Cookie Time

Tonight the Smarts joined us for dinner and then after dinner we made cookies. OK and RS have developed a cute little friendship. It is so fun to watch them interact and laugh at one another. Both girls really enjoyed using the cookie cutters and helping to decorate the finished cookies. OK spent more time eating the decorations than decorating the cookies, but everyone had a great time. Here are some pictures. Thanks to the Smarts for such a wonderful time.

Disney on Ice

My sister was taking CPW to see Disney on Ice and asked us to join them. OK did so great at The Little Mermaid on Broadway that we knew she would love to go. She has had a rough weekend with teething and diaper rash so this was a great treat. I teared up watching them look with amazement. They loved every minute of this wonderful display of Disney characters. The costumes and props were as amazing as you would expect from anything Disney. The show was based on an adventure that Mickey, Minnie, and their pals were going on. They had scenes from The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Lilo and Stitch, and Peter Pan. At the end OK looked at CTW and I and said "I really liked it." She told Aunt KK thank you for the ticket. She clapped during the entire finale. CPW really enjoyed it as well. I think she may want to be an ice skater now. I love having a child so that I can go back and enjoy my childhood all over again. Here are several pictures.

Jumping

OK's new thing is to try and jump. She really thinks she is doing it but she can't quite get her feet off the floor. A couple of weeks ago, I watched the twins while their mom went to the doctor. They are the sweetest and think OK is hilarious. MP loved to watch her try to jump and laughed the whole time.
