Christmastime

We had wonderful, busy Christmas! I have posted lots of pictures. Hope you enjoy!
Christmas Morning at our house!





Christmas Day at Mamaw and Papa's - with Uncle AJ



This Uncle Aj in Mikayla's princess tent with her... you can't see Mikayla but she is in there.


I could not have timed this picture any better!

Loving on her AJ

SURPRISE!!!



Christmas with Pepaw- her new chair- she was so excited. You cannot tell but she is bouncing up and down on the chair in this picture.





Opening her cars- she loves playing with cars... which Daddy loves.


All the goods from Pepaw!

Mikayla with Pepaw

Playing at Memaw B's with her new game. I did not take any pictures of her opening gifts because I got a new camcorder for Christmas and it has been put to good use.






Not so happy girl- not wanting to sit in Santa's lap.

This is what we got!

Perfect distance for her!



Big girl making cookies



I think she ate more than she put on cookies... best way though!

Tada!!

New puppy she got for Christmas... a little early. Family sent from PA and Mikayla saw the package under tree and just could not wait.




In her new igloo tent that she wants to be in ALLLLL the time!!


Hanging out with Duke- she is eating a cracker and he wants it.



Showing off one of her Christmas outfits

Not real sure what she is doing but she wanted me to take her picture.

Lots going on in the Scheetz home. Mikayla did get her casts off but had to get another set put on. She needed them for 4 more weeks. We were supposed to get them off this coming Monday but her braces are not finished so we must suffer a little longer. The doctor does not want her casts off until they can put the braces on. Last I heard, yesterday, the braces will be ready middle to end of next week. In addition to the cast situation, Mikayla had surgery on December 1st to repair a hernia. She had quite a bit of pain the next day but that was really it. For a few days after surgery she would tell us it hurt if we moved her a certain way. She was back to scooting around like crazy within a couple of days afterward. We are getting ready for Christmas. Thanksgiving night we went to Opryland Hotel to look at the lights and decorations. Mikayla LOVES Christmas lights and really anything associated with Christmas. She will be upset when it is over and we have to take everything down. We took her to see the Rockettes a couple of weekends ago. She was a little scared when the lights first went down but really enjoyed it after that. I think Santa was her favorite thing about the show. Can't wait to see how she does opening presents this year... she is very dramatic... it should be a blast! I think Mike and I are more excited for her to open presents than she is... I am feeling like a little kid with anticipation. We are doing Christmas with my dad and family next Sunday.
Mikayla and Daddy waiting to get cast off.
Poor thing was terrified when they turned on the "saw" to take the cast off.

Just look at this sad face.

Her feet after the cast were off... the thing sticking out of her big toe was a pin.
Also, the white paper had a pin under it.


Here are her new orange cast. They are not as high as the other ones.


Mikayla with our friends Kayla, Heather, and Brayden Street.


KayKay just being cute.



Mamaw found some old toys and this fire hat was one of them- she loved it.


With her AJ


Mikayla in Aj's "Waldo" glasses... where's Mikayla??

"Where is AJ?"

Showing off her purse

Papa and Mamaw with KayKay at the Rockettes. I actually got in trouble for taking this picture! Apparently you are not supposed to take pictures at any time in the Opry House. Sounds a little silly to me if no one is on stage.
