Christmas Day

We left my parents Christmas morning and traveled to Vance to spend Christmas with Ryan's family. We had another huge dinner and lots of family time!

Christmas Eve

We went to church with my parents Christmas Eve and had a yummy dinner. Aunt Emily and Uncle Brian joined us for dinner and spent the night. Mia had a restless night waiting for Santa Clause. Sorry Mimi and Grandpa!

Country Cookin'

Last night we took Mia to Cracker Barrell for supper. She loved the food. She had a biscuit, green beans, cinnamon apples, and chicken and dumplings. After every bite she said "Mmmm". Too cute! She was such a good girl. You can see her boo-boo on her forehead from hitting her head on the rocking chair at big girl school. I thought these pictures really showed off her pretty eyes!

Catch-up

Well, I haven't posted in a couple of weeks so I will catch everyone up on what Miss Mia is up to. We had our neighborhood luminary lighting last Sunday. It was beautiful! We pulled Mia around the neighborhood in her wagon. She thought everything was "bweeeee". This is her new word. We think she is trying to say "pretty". She is now trying to do the itsy bitsy spider. It's so cute. Whenever you say "you look so pretty", she runs her hands through her hair. Vanity is so cute at this age!

We went and visited mama and daddy's new beach house on Saturday. Mia had a grand time getting into everything. She behaved well except for when we took something away from her that she wanted. This always inevitably leads to a full blown, on the floor temper tantrum.

She now has a facination with leaves. She is constantly picking them up and bringing them in the house for me!

One of her favorite things though is giving hugs. I'm very fortunate to have a loving daughter who likes affection and cuddling. It doesn't get much better than a good Mia hug!

For those of you I generally post a comment to on your blog: I haven't been able to post anything lately. I don't know what is wrong. It says my user name is incorrect. I'm using the same one I have always used though. Just wanted you to know that I am still keeping up with you!

Baby Cradle

My boss brought Mia's Christmas present by this weekend. It's a baby cradle he had made for her with her name on it. She thinks it is for her to sit in...

Emily and I took Mia to B'ville to get her Christmas pictures made on Saturday. On the way back a deer ran into my driver's side doors and did about $2800 worth of damage. Everyone was okay though. I just feel like my brand new car turned into a hooptie. :-(

Mia also started eating from her big girl chair last week. She seems to like sitting at the table with us instead of in her high chair.
