Christmas Day in Florida 2008

Louis 's Parents and my brother came over for our first Christmas in Florida! We had a wonderful day and time together!

Christmas Eve Candle Light Dinner

We read the story of Jesus's birth in the bible and Baylee was Mary, Reilly was Joseph, Nora (the doll) was baby Jesus, and Patrick was the donkey.
As Louis's tradition we opened one present on Christmas Eve and everyone got new jammies!

Christmas morning before anyone was awake!

The Girls!
The guys!

My parents got Baylee a kitchen and Louis's parents got her all the food and accessories for it! She absolutely loves it!
Chef Baylee ready to cook in her new Kitchen!
Baylee loved all the dolls she got, especially the baby from her cousin Jake! Thank you Jake, its her favorite!

Uncle Roger got Baylee a princess scooter!
Stocking Stuffers!

Louis and I got new bikes from Santa!
The first ride of the day...Yeah, that is Louis still in his jammies!
She loves her new scooter and wagon too!

Christmas night we went to a local Christmas Fair and Baylee just loved it! She rode rides over and over all night long just like her mom!

Santa

Our Neighborhood had a Christmas Party the other night and Baylee had so much fun... until Santa came out! She was deathly afraid of him! Poor thing! She had to be in my arms or Louis's to even get close to him :( She got it from me though. I was the same way when I was her age! We hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Today was Louis's 27th Birthday! We had Uncle Roger and our friends Chad and Debbie over for dinner. Instead of a traditional birthday cake Louis requested his favorite Pumpkin Pie! Unfortunately I had only a tea light to use as a candle ...oops. I'm sure his wish will still come true! Baylee tried to blow out the candle herself but almost burned her little nose instead :0 Happy Birthday Daddy and Hubby! We love you!

"A little Bit of Turkey Fried..."

My Parents came down for the Thanksgiving Holiday. Baylee loved all the attention she got from her Omi and Opa! She had a lot of fun with them and misses them so much! We did a lot of fun things together. Thank you for such a wonderful week mom and dad!

We went to the zoo...

We went on walks and played in the park...

We went swimming...

We played with Stickers and My Little Ponies...
Went on a Carousel Ride...

Ate Breakfast with Opa every morning...

Had a great Turkey Day 2008!
Fried Turkey-yummy...

Ate at a local Cuban Restaurant and Baylee loving the limes!

Put up the Christmas tree and Christmas decorations and made Stockings!

Mittens

It has actually been chilly in South Florida lately. Its gotten into the 40's at night and Baylee loves wearing her new mittens and the other night she wanted so bad to wear them to sleep! So I let her thinking that she would take them right off...
...well 5 hours later when I checked on her before going to bed myself I found her mittens still on! No blankets, no binky, just mittens! She is a funny one.
