MMmmm Cookies

We went to see our sweet little cousin sing at her annual Christmas program and visit with Santa.  They both did great with Santa this year and even gave Santa her two cents on what she wants for Christmas.  She was pumped.  I think her favorite part was decorating the SUGAR cookies.  Her sweet tooth was in candy land HEAVEN!!!!

Loving on her uncle who showed her how to triple dip her cookie into icing and toppings.  That's what uncles are for.  I guess it is payback for when we let her cousin drink a bunch of Sunkist from a 2 liter bottle when she was little =)

Double Trouble

Mrs. Holly

So I caved into the whole Elf of the Shelf deal. I am glad I did as C is having fun looking for her in the morning. Mrs. Holly happened to be relaxing on the piano chilling in one of her dolls' chairs.  She thought it was pretty funny and decided to play her some self-written tunes.  I tried to stand there and dance around with her...she quickly told me to leave.  She was playing for Mrs. Holly and not mommy.  Geeze! Plus Mrs. Holly is a good behave yourself because Santa is watching tact =)

Thanksgiving Weekend

Thought it was about time to catch up on what has been going on around here lately.  Little one has been super funny and quite the comedian.  She loves to take the stage and put on an 'act,' of cute craziness! She has us rolling on the floor at least once a day.

 She is a very dramatic shiverer (yes I made up that word)

Helping Gigi peel potatoes for Thanksgiving.

Making gravy with Abuelita

Chilling with Duane

She would not sit still for dinner but would hang out with Papa and eat his food.

Our after dinner entertainment.  She put on quite a show. 

Pretending she has a baby in her belly like our friends Mrs. Michelle when she carries little man in the Bjorn.

We came so close to getting a guinea pig this weekend.  Papa tried his hardest to convince me.  She even named her Lambie (A Doc McStuffins reference).  She loved holding her.

Partying in the leaves

Blast Off!

We went to play with our Aggie friend the other day and got to play on a super cool playground. The top of the shuttle is pretty high up there and made me a tad nervous! Sweet girl loved it and even sat in the astronaut seat that overhung on the edge. Yikes!

Happy Halloween

More pics to come...

This and That

It has been busy around here lately! Little one has enjoyed all the holiday festivities this year that is for sure. She is going as Doc McStuffins; her choice. She is a doctor to all her toys and stuffed animals.  Needless to say we play doctor many times a day. 

Mom and Dad...hot date night.  ;)

Pumpkin carving time!

Great job daddy!

Fun times

Miss animal lover made some friends at Petsmart ( we frequent any Petsmart or petsore, quite often) The lizard and the tortoise took a huge liking to her. The lizard kept jumping up and down and putting his little claws up against the glass. And ol' tortoise would rest his head against the glass and just stare at her. I swear he was smiling at her. Needless to say we almost walked out of there with two new pets.

We had our first ant bite this week.  Normally I would not think twice about an ant bite, but sure enough she had and allergic reaction.  This involved 2 powerful and painful antibiotic shots, fever and some meds for 10 days.  She is on the mend now though.  Thank goodness.  I thought she deserved a doughnut post shots and prodding.  The guy even throw in some free munchkins.

Enjoying her dear friends' fall carnival!
