christmas morning

good morning sleepy pants!

checking out her new baby crib and "glass" slippers

time to open presents!

this turned out to quite possibly be her favorite gift-she WILL NOT take it off!!!

she immediatly put it the gown on, along with her new glass slippers and started walking around & said, very seriously, "I think I'm getting married." :)

wishing daltie a merry christmas on the phone!

dressed up in her new dress, ready to head out & play some tunes!

christmas eve

we started out the evening at church for the christmas eve service. i was a bit nervous because the preacher had asked us to do our Jesus' birthday celebration that our family does which meant that chloe had to be on stage the entire service-eek! luckily, she did great though and we all remembered our parts :) afterwards we headed to mimi and papa's to do Jesus' Birthday with extended family and open gifts!

chloe & jonah

mia & nate

Brooks reading the Christmas story from the bible

lighting the candle

chloe insisted that she blow it out-of course! :)

decorating the gingerbread house

ta-da!

mimi & her gift from us & sister & bro-in law

what could this be?

a little excited!

posing by her dollhouse! and yes...it is missing its DOOR! we had to take the entire house back to pottery barn & exchange it because its door was broken! :(

and whats even more fun than a brand new dollhouse?! the box!

laying out cookies and milk for santa...she was saying, "maybe I should have just a little try!"

snow!

on christmas eve we were treated to SNOW! chloe loved playing in it (or at least trying to eat it!) you'll see after a few minutes we wised up and put a hat on the poor child! :)
