Update on the last week

"I don't know about this new toy"


"What are these funny things on the front"

"Yeah, in the playroom with Daddy"


"Letting Mommy practice with her new camera"

"Notice my long bangs"


"Playing on the swing with PaPa"


"Why can't I have Mommy's birthday cake before dinner"


"I learned to feed myself"

"Notice my new shorter hair do"

Hope you liked the cartoons. Things have been crazy around here so that is all I felt like blogging lately. Every creeping crud virus around here decided to come to my house lately and we have all been sick. We are finally all better now. Our weather is so crazy. Dallas was actually in shorts earlier this week and now she will have to dress warm today. I took the play yard from around the tree last night and put out the presents I have wrapped so far. Dallas was excited when she woke up this morning and saw the tree. She touched a few ornaments but so far has stayed away from it. Johnny wanted to give her the Wheely Bug I got her for Christmas early so she got it a few days ago. She won't ride it just yet but likes to play with it's antanae. Her PaPa decided that she needed her bangs trimed and proceeded to do so without telling us!!! I ended up taking her to the salon to get it fixed somewhat. She looks totally different without the hair in her face all the time. I baked cookies and brownies last night and let her help in the kitchen for the first time. It was fun baking with my daughter. She and daddy had to sample the goodies before bedtime!!! She even shared a few with Noelle. Here are some pics taken over the last week. I will post more later today.

Pajamas

Donna's FFFF challenge last week was "Pajamas". Well I am finally getting around to posting my collage of Dallas in her pj's.

Santa Visited Mommy Early This Year

Santa said I've been very good this year so he brought me my Christmas present early!!! Actually my birthday is tomorrow so I have always been used to getting one big present for my birthday and Christmas. I got the new Nikon D40 digital SLR camera!!! I also got a tripod for the camera and video camera. This way I can already know how to use the camera and take great pictures of Dallas on Christmas morning. I really want to learn how to take better pictures and figured this would be a great hobby for me. Now just to read the instruction manual and figure the thing out!!!

Our First Christmas Card as a Forever Family

Merry Christmas to your family from ours. May you all be as blessed in 2007 as we have been in 2006.




This is our official Christmas card this year. It was designed for us by Suzanne. Please check out her website as she does great work and is reasonably priced.

***NEWS FLASH***

Dallas slept the entire night in her crib without us in her room!!! This occured 7 months to the day we returned from China. Thank you God. John and I have been taking turns sleeping on an air mattress next to her crib. I forgot what it felt like to sleep in my own bed next to my husband!!!

Santa Claus Pictures

I took Dallas to the mall yesterday to meet Santa Claus. She wasn't afraid of him one bit and didn't cry. In fact, she reached up and tugged at his beard to see if it was real and it was. She wouldn't smile for the photographer but I still love this picture. And of course Momma had to buy the biggest package they offered. After the pictures we snuck on over to Baby Gap to buy a few more outfits. A girl just has to have a denim jacket!!!
