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.

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.

KayKay just being cute.

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

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.
