Wordless Wednesday

Christmas Day

Merry Christmas to all. What a wonderful and special Christmas it was this year. Juliette does not quite understand Santa yet but she can say his name. Don told me last night that he knew what it felt like being a Dad on Christmas Eve. He was up until midnight putting together Juliette's new kitchen. I on the other hand was only able to support as much as sleeping on the couch in the living room. Juliette was in awe on Christmas morning. She loved her kitchen and her new farm. She got a horse to ride and that has been a huge hit as well.

Mommy too was quite excited about her gift - I got a wii! Don and I have been having a blast with this thing. It is amazing how something like that can put the kid right back in you!

Christmas at Tessa & Doh's

Juliette had a wonderful Christmas with Tessa & Doh and Uncle Danny. She definitely loved her most fitting gift from Doh - A big Fish! My Mom is going to hang some yarn from it so Juliette can pretend that she is catching fish. You can see that her Grandaddy and her Daddy are hoping that they have a young "fishgirl in training"

An afternoon downtown

Juliette and I enjoyed a little pre-Christmas afternoon with Tessa. Juliette had the best afternoon yet in a restaurant. She was like a little perfect big girl.

More Christmas cheer...

Juliette has enjoyed her Advent calendar this year as we open up a door each day anxiously awaiting Christmas day.

Someone new is enjoying the Christmas cards too...

My 2nd smocking fashion show

Juliette was in her second fashion show last night for Tessa's (my Mom)smocking guild. She was so thrilled as she had an audience of her Mommy, Daddy, Tessa and Doh. She had her two beautiful little outfits that her Tessa made for her.

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas...

Well we have been up to all kinds of fun things. Juliette is saying Santa... although I can tell you that she was not too fond of Santa this year. We went to breakfast with Santa in our neighborhood and as you can see that was about as far as she would get to Santa. Her favorite part of the morning was sucking on a candy cane for the first time. Boy, did she love that. We have had some cold days which has made it feel a lot like Christmas is in the air.

Wordless Wednesday... good to the last drop!

I love my doggies

Among a few of Juliette's favorite things are her doggies! she now loves to just run around the house and chase them. If you ask her to hug them she will do exactly that. They have a specifi area in the kitchen where they stay under a cabinet known as the "hutch". Juliette can now say that word and insists on getting in there with them to sit and pet them.
