Milk & Cookies with Santa

McCall was invited by a school mate to enjoy milk and cookies with Santa. How cute???? So, Sunday afternoon we prepared McCall for this "adventure" in hopes of a better response of Santa than last year. Well..... all I can say is... there is always next year, right?

Not a Santa fan...

 Warming up to him....

Giving Santa a High-five.... think she'll sit with him alone now???

 No.... not so much....

 But McCall did enjoy cookies...LOTS of cookies....

 We ran into the Loves there!!!!!! PS, Happy Birthday, Ashley!

 Keeping an eye on that guy in the red suit....

 McCall got to play with Henry!

 And now McCall with the Host, Davis! Thanks so much Davis for inviting us!

 I think this was the best picture I could get of McCall's dress (that my mother-in-law made, of course)

Speaking of La La's Creations........

 McCall's snowman shirt made by La La

 After we got home from milk and cookies with Santa this is all McCall wanted to do....wear her Daddy's shoes around the house..

Silly girl....

Christmas Pictures

Last Sunday, Lynne Boykin took our family Christmas pictures at the Claussen House. She did a great job!!!! I can't wait to get our Christmas cards back to send out- I heart Christmas cards... A LOT!!!! Until then, I will post a few (of course, I'm not going to spoil the Christmas card, so that picture won't be on here.. Enjoy! :)  )

20 Months Old

At 20 Months Old (I'll try to make this short and sweet):

• McCall, you bring more joy to our family than I ever thought possible!
• You laugh, talk and dance 99.97424 % of the time!
• It is SO hard to get a picture of you because you are in constant motion!
• You are a fashion diva- you love picking out the "shooooo" (shoes) you want to wear every day.
• You are doing so many new things right now it's hard to keep up- expanding your vocabulary, interacting/playing more with other children, sharing, expressing your wants (which usually involves milk or gold fish), etc.
• McCall, you have stolen our hearts for the past 20 months and we can't imagine loving you more..... but I know it's bound to happen!!!!

 While attempting this picture McCall kept "chasing" me- the reason it ended up so close....

 Making funny faces in the mirror

Thanksgiving Week!

Goodness! We had a great Thanksgiving week (even though Davy had to work some of the day on Thanksgiving and we had to miss seeing part of my side of the family :(  )!

 Being silly...

 Ready for school (in front of our [at the time]partially decorated tree)

 wearing a dress her La La made her

 Ha! I love this picture! Drake driving McCall!!!

 After Thanksgiving dinner the family did what ALL families do- went on a hay-less hay ride (normal, right?!?!?!)  :)

 With Pa Pa on the "ride"

 Watching TV with Pa Pa

 McCall STILL hasn't adjusted to the idea of La La holding other babies... can you tell? (This is McCall's sweet, sweet cousin, Eli)

She warmed up to the idea and even loved on Eli!
