Early Christmas

We had Christmas at Mikayla's Great-aunt's (Leshia's family) on Sunday. Our cousin Kristy and her husband, Steve, are in from Japan until Friday so we had to do things a little early this year. We enjoyed spending time with them while they were here. I think they will be back again late next summer. Mikayla was not overly excited about the packages - more about what was inside. However, she did show a lot of interest in the ribbons.

Mike took this picture from the back of everyone watching Mikayla open her presents.
This is Mikayla's cousin, Ian. We open presents in order of age, starting with the youngest. Until this year Ian was the youngest so he is not real sure how he likes this waiting thing. The puppy that Mikayla is playing with in the picture is a hand puppet that barks songs when you move his mouth. She really likes this. Duke does not like this present... he barks and growls at it. He tried to attack it last night. So funny!!

I just thought both of these pictures were so cute - so I wanted to share.

Christmas Lights at Beech Bend

We went with Grandma and Grandpa to Beech Bend in Bowling Green to see the Christmas Lights on Saturday night. There was a drive- thru light display that went on for about 2 miles.
Mikayla looked at the lights but was not overly excited. Next year she will enjoy everything much more.

I think she enjoyed the animals more than anything. She did not really know what to think about them at first. But by the end, she put her hand out to pet the goats.

Random pictures

Mikayla in her new high chair- she looks like such a big girl.

In her Christmas dress. There will probably be quite a few pictures taken in this dress - everyone will probably wonder if she has any more clothes.

Her face looks about like this every time she eats!! She loves making a mess.

I just had to put this picture on here- I love this outfit!!
