Christmas Morning...

We decorated early this year and paired down our decoration. I loved it. Super simple but beautiful all lit up at night.

 This year Reese only asked for a couple of things.... Princess Twilight Sparkle and her castle, a sewing machine, and a couple of games for her WII.

 Then she kept adding to her list ... a TV

 Princess Celestia....

Well I dont think she was too disappointed when those items didnt appear...
 

 She told us multiple times... this was the best Christmas ever...

She got a few surprises... like a necklace to go with her newly pierced ears and earrings.
 

 Some racing attachments for the new racing game. Look out Uncle Dwayne we are going to be practicing so we can
smoke you next time we play..

Dont worry too much... we need lots and lots of practice.

 

Now I'm going to learn to sew and teach you how Mama.
 

Twilight's princess car arrived but hey where is Princess Twilight...

 

 And finally the last present under the tree... is Princess Twilight Sparkle. YEAH

 

Huh....

 

 
 Ok Dad, one last smile. Then it's time to play. ( It's a pretty smile but a bit fake dont you think? )

 Oh but first... my stocking...

 Hey this stocking is full of neat stuff. 

 

  

Whew.... all the presents are opened and the poor tree look bare again.

Oh well... it's off to start playing with all these new toys. Let the playing begin.

 

 Merry Christmas everyone.

Well she did it....

Reese has been wanting her ears pierced for about a year now. But each time we go to get them done...she backs out. 

I told her when she was ready we would do it. So today when we were going in the mall to do a bit of shopping, she told us ... " mama I want my ears pierced." 

Ok... after we grab a bite to eat we will go see if their are two ladies working the counter and can do it.

She did super. She did get a bit upset as we filled out a ton of paperwork and heard the lady in Claires explain the procedure. But I asked Reese if I could hold her in my lap and we were set. 

It was so fast and simple, she turned around to me and said.." mama it didnt hurt and I didnt cry." I was one happy mama about that too. I was about to cry myself just thinking about it all.
 

They are beautiful baby girl...just like you.

 She was so excited and proud of herself.

 We've lost two teeth but gained two earrings... I believe that's a good swap.
 

 She did it and is so proud. We're proud of you too baby girl. You are super brave. You go girl...

The Movie Star...

Happy Halloween everyone.

It was a great evening in our area. The rain held off and the temp was pretty warm for a late October evening. And I know of one Movie star that sure was glad...

We don't do a whole lot of treat or treating. We just let baby girl dress up and go visiting family and special friends. And hey... if they give us a little candy it twice the fun.

This year Reese couldn't decide what she wanted to dress up as...

First it was Cinderella... no Jasmine... no better yet a bride... and finally she saw this dress and decide she wanted to be a Movie star.

That worked out great for me...because we already had the gloves and dress-up jewelry...

Plus the dress came with the fur wrap.



I think my baby girl is the prettiest movie star around....

Reese loved the dress but I believe glamming up was more than she bargained for... at each house we lost an accessory.

I told her beauty has it price...

After we visited all our stops....we went home to give out candy .

Reese loves this part too. This year we gave out candy, spider rings, and God loves you tracks. 

Next year we are going to have to come up with a better plan to shield Reese from the big kids and their scary costumes. She definitely didn't like the scary characters.

Dress up and candy .. what more could you ask for? It was a great night.
