Christmas 2008

We has a wonderful Christmas this year and it was so fun to see how much Paige loved it! Santa brought Paige three presents and the rest were from Mommy and Daddy. Santa brought Paige a kitchen set, a traveling easel, and a wardrobe for her dolls. Paige wanted to play with her kitchen set for awhile before she opened her presents so Brad and I opened ours while she played.

Here is her gifts from Santa.

After we celebrated Christmas morning with our family we went over to Aunt Cassie and Uncle Shane's house. We celebrated with Nana, Papa, Grant, and Brooke also! Here our Paige and Brooke pretending to be chefs!

Paige visits with Santa!

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.

Christmas Lights & Starbucks!

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!

Gymnastics Christmas Program!

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.)

Girls Night Out & Cookies!!

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)
