Just for fun because I needed to spend a little more for free shipping :)

Christmas Tree Hunting

We went to the Bryant's family tree farm today to pick out a Christmas tree. Audrey had a great time playing in the mud and looking for rocks!

Off to find the perfect tree

Maybe a rock instead

Daddy cutting down our tree

More rocks!

Asleep before we even hit the road :)

Getting Ready for Christmas

Audrey had her Christmas party at school tonight. The older kids sang some songs, but Audrey wasn't very interested in participating in that. :) She did love the cookies and opening some presents that Teacher Carol bought for the daycare. It was super fun to see all the kids in their Christmas outfits and we had a great time visiting with the other parents as well.

Audrey also got to practice opening some presents today! A few of my kids from school bought her some gifts and she had lots of fun opening the packages.

She loves her new book from the Stones!

"What is this?"

A pillow pet from the Mortons!

One Year- 3 Weeks

Little Miss didn't feel like smiling today...so this is as good as it gets. Audrey's teeth have finally stopped bothering her and she is back to her normal 9 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night! (Mommy is VERY excited about this). Only one molar left to go and it's very close. Audrey is "talking" all day every day. She always has something to say and now loves to listen to music and dance. She has been busy getting ready for her Christmas program at school and I can't wait to see her try to sing with the older kids tomorrow night. Should be good for a few laughs. She is going to the "big kids" class at church now and she really seems to be enjoying it.

Great Grandma's Tree Decorating

Every year Grandma Anne has a tree decorating party for the great grandkids. We always have such a great time watching all the kids put ornaments on the tree. This year it was fun to watch Audrey get to help as well.

More "helping" :)

Maia was the best decorator of all

One Year-2 Weeks

Our little girl is growing up! She is really starting to look and act more like a toddler every day. She now says "woof woof" when you ask her what a dog says and she has started to say "night night" before bed. She "talks" all day long and always has something to say. Teacher Carol said she was even trying to "teach" the kids at calendar time this week. Audrey loves to play with all her toys and is always trying to figure out how things work. She is still eating all kinds of foods and we are hoping that will last. :)
