Yesterday we stood in line for Paige to see Santa. She did a great job. By the time we finally got to him she was a little nervous but Santa's elves talked to her and told her it would be fun. Now she likes Santa and keeps telling us it was fun. Paige told Santa she wants a kitchen set and lots of dolls! We will see if he pulls through!
I don't have a scanner so I can't show you the finished picture. It turned out really cute as well.
Here is a shot of Paige tonight before we headed out to see the lights! A local college near us has a light display up that you can drive through for only five dollars. So tonight we headed out on a cold 35 degree night to help us get in the Christmas spirit!
Brad driving us:)
Paige buckled in her seat.
We decided it would be fun to get some hot chocolate for Paige and coffee for us as we looked at the lights. I got a twenty dollar gift certificate from a child in my class for Christmas so it was a really easy choice. This was the first time Paige had Starbucks and only her second hot chocolate ever. As you can tell she was beyond excited! She kept saying how yummy it was. I think the chocolate teeth are also evidence.In case you are wondering it is a smaller cup and only cost a $1.10! Pretty good deal! We told her once you taste Starbucks, you won't want to stop!!
She looks so big drinking her cocoa!
The rest of the pictures are some of the lights that we saw tonight! ENJOY!
Here are some random pictures from the camera or ones that Laura sent me. Here is Paige at the mall last week.

Last week Paige's gymnastics class put on a Christmas show. It was so fun to watch Paige do her routines. She was nervous at first and didn't want to perform but as the event went on she seemed to have fun. Here she is getting ready for her routine. (The gym was dark so the pictures came out dark as well.)

Last week we had a girls night out Christmas party! We each brought an ornament to exchange and ate lots of great food. I made Christmas sugar cookies and we ate them all up:) We decided to wear our pajamas for fun. It was such a fun night and great to see everyone. (Me holding Erica's daughter Blaire, Gina, Rose, Erin, Audrey, Laura, Melanie, Stacey, Abby, Stacey's daughter Matney. Erica and Susan on the floor)

Before the party Paige helped me bake the sugar cookies. Here she is eating thebatter!
Yummy!
Here is the frosting we made.
Paige gearing up in all her cold weather gear! She love her news boots and doesn't want to take them off. She wants to wear them as soon as she gets up. Her mommy loves her new coat! So cute!
Check out my boots!
CHEESE!
We are also into putting as many hair clips in out hair as we can. Don't we look pretty? 
This past Thursday at school Paige had a Thanksgiving party! Here she is in her Indian costume. Her teacher gave all the kids Indian names and Paige's was Catori. Catori means spirit. Paige's teacher said she named Paige that because she has such a wonderful heart and she is always happy. She also said she loved her curiosity.
So cute and fun!
On Wednesday was my 31st birthday. Unfortunately I had to work and Paige had gymnastics so we had a busy day. We managed to squeeze in some dinner and cake though! Here is Paige giving me flowers.
Blowing out my candles:)
Yesterday Paige got invited to her friend Emma's 3rd birthday party at Build-A -Bear! We had a wonderful time making a bear, riding the carousel, and eating pizza and cake! Thank you so much Emma for inviting us!
