All Dressed Up

Here's Madelyn all dressed up in her pretty red dress. She enjoyed posing in front of the tree and playing with the ornaments!

1st Haircut

Madelyn had her first little haircut last weekend. Her hair was constantly in her eyes, and she really doesn't like leaving bows in to hold it back. So, her bangs were trimmed just a bit.

Even though she got to watch a Dora video during the brief haircut, she shed a few tears in the beginning.

Holding a balloon and her favorite ball helped a little.

"Can I go yet?

Much better!

A Basket of Balls

One of Madelyn's favorite things to do is load all of her favorite balls into this wire basket. She loves carrying it around!

They barely fit!

All loaded and ready to go. It's also fun to wear Mommy's slippers!

Madelyn and Lacy

Here are Madelyn and Lacy having fun around the tree. Madelyn has learned to wind the snowglobe that she loves so much!

Two little cuties!

"Look Lacy, there's a doggie in this snowglobe!"

This is Lacy's 14th Christmas with Mommy. She's still amazingly patient to be so old. We love Lacy!

Going to See Santa

Madelyn went to see Santa last week. She really enjoyed waving and smiling to him until we got close . . .

"Mommy, why are you leaning me so close to this stranger??"

"Surely you're not thinking of LEAVING me here with him, are you?? I don't think so!!"
That's as close as we got to him, so we may try again to get this year's Santa picture. Oh well!

Playing with Pans

It's so much fun to stand on cake pans! Madelyn loves taking all of the pans out of the cabinet then standing on them.

Party Girl

Madelyn and her friends enjoyed Katelyn's birthday party so much the other night! Here they are just hanging out eating some pizza.

She was happiest when she had a ball for each hand! Everyone had to get bundled up to go on a hayride around the neighborhood to look at Christmas lights. It was so much fun!
