Christmas

We decided to celebrate Christmas early this year (daddy, Bailey and I) since we will be around lots of family and didn't want to have to try to fit our family Christmas in.

On Friday night we opened our stockings, which consisted of Christmas jammies and B got a microphone toy.

B got to pick out some treats to put in Harley's 

She had a lot of fun teasing the dog

crazy dog got the treat!

Then on Saturday morning Bailey got to open her presents. The presents were under the tree for several days and she only managed to get her hands on one of them. I thought for sure I would be rewrapping several but she is a very good listener. 

Daddy and B making breakfast before opening presents. I wish this was more in focus but wanted to keep it because they have the same facial expression. 

Stirring her oatmeal

Bailey was very expressive about opening presents. As she was tearing the paper she would say, oh my goodness! oh, wow! It was hilarious! We really enjoyed our time together and making fun memories.

This girl loves popcorn

and anything Princess Belle related

and shoes

B loves pushing strollers around with her babies. (I think it will be awhile before we let her push her little sister)

Our precious little girl is growing up too fast!

sickness

Poor little girl came down with the stomach flu again. Apparently it likes us over the holiday season. I can say that I don't mind her being a little snuggle bug the last couple days. Thankfully Bailey will be recovered before Christmas and get to enjoy time with her cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents.

Sprinkles

We've had a busy week trying to get everything finished up before the holidays so I don't have to deal with all the crazy people next week. :) Bailey was getting really tired of running errands every morning so on this day I told her that we would stop and get her a donut if she was a good girl. She asked "one with sprinkles?" I told her if she was good she could pick out any kind she wanted. Wouldn't you know it, the girl didn't fight me one bit! She was a perfect little angel and was so excited when we got home so she could eat all the sprinkles! Of course then I had a girl with a sugar high but it was worth it.

Snow

Bailey got to play in the snow for the first time this winter. She loved it! We have only had a dusting of snow here in the city so it was a nice surprise when we were back for a visit to the farm and woke up with snow on the ground. Grandma pulled Bailey around on the sled. Bailey and I are both ready for more snow :)

Bailey also got to watch Frosty the snowman for the first time and she really liked it. She found Uncle Logan's musical frosty and now sings along with it. Pretty cute little girl we have!

A little Christmas

We decided to put decorations on our Christmas tree this weekend. Bailey keeps calling the ornaments marbles...?? Oh well. As you can image the lower half of our tree gets redecorated a couple times a day. It keeps her entertained so I can't complain with that.

We drove around the city this weekend and looked at Christmas lights. There is a website that has large light displays on a map so you can hit all the main attractions. Bailey does not like riding in the car (that is an understatement) so we convinced her if she got in and didn't scream that we would get ice cream. There are some really neat displays. I think we only hit 2 of the big ones but one was 10 minutes long. They had to set it up behind the city hall since traffic has been such a problem during the holiday season the past few years. Bailey did enjoy the lights and all my ice cream.

Gym time

Have I mentioned how much we like our community center?? It is a life saver on chilly mornings when I don't want to go outside!
