Our Christmas Tradition

Tis the season Sweet Pea! Grandma Karen and Grandpa Bruce got to town today! We realized that we still had not taken you to see Santa yet so we decided to do that with them. We dressed you up in your pretty Christmas dress and tights, headed over to Grapevine Mills mall, and stood in line about 15 minutes to see Santa. Though you were very interested in Santa from afar, you wanted NOTHING to do with him when it came time for you to sit on his lap. Though it was not your best picture, we had to buy it cause your pouty crying face was just too cute to resist.

We thought it would be a ton of fun to make a Build-a-Bear each year. So we began our family tradition today! After much thought and a lot of touching and hugging different animals, we decided on the Hello Kitty. We got her a voice box and took her over to the stuffing machine. That machine was loud so mommy pushed the foot pedal for you. Once the kitty was stuff you got to put her heart in. You really liked that part so you decided to give her another one. 🙂 There is your trivia fact – your Hello Kitty has 2 hearts!

Afterwards we ate dinner at Carrabba’s and then we drove to see Christmas lights. You LOVED the lights and were such a good girl the entire day and into the night. It’s absolutely amazing how fast you are learning and how quickly you are growing up!
