Merry Christmas!!!

Calleigh's new swing set

I know I am one day behind, but its been a really busy couple of days.  On Christmas Eve, we started our Christmas celebration.  Andy and my parents surprised us, with a huge swing set for Calleigh.  We were not expecting this at all.  It was a huge surprise, and we are very grateful for this wonderful surprise.  So Andy has been hard at work trying to get it all set up.  Later in the day, we went to Andy's parents house for Christmas, we had some good food, and opened our gifts.  We then went to Church as a huge family.  It was nice to celebrate the day with everyone.

 Christmas morning, I made breakfast and we opened our gifts at home.  Calleigh was not one bit interested. She would rather play with all her toys instead.  My advice to other parents who have young ones, is get the toys set up before Christmas, so the day of, they know what it is and they will open it and be excited about it.  Calleigh loves her new toys now that they are put together and she can play with them.  Once we were done at our house we went to my parents' house to celebrate Christmas over there.  Once again Calleigh was not the least bit interested in any gift opening.  Maybe next year!!  Overall, we had a wonderful fulfilling couple of days.  We are ready for some rest and to bring in 2011!!!

Calleigh's a winner

I am getting ready for my annual Special Olympics event next week.  I am getting all the paper work done, and making sure we have volunteers and what not ready to go.  I was counting out the medals needed to give out for our competition.  Andy was home with Calleigh while I was at the ice rink. Andy hears some clicking (like when medal click together).  Andy didn't think anything of it, he just thought it was Calleigh playing with Cash's dog collar.  Until, Cash shook and his collar made the clicking noise.  Then Andy knew for sure it wasn't Cash's collar.  He comes into the office to find, Calleigh putting on all the medals around her neck, saying to her dad "pretty, pretty"  I guess she just wanted to feel like a winner!!!!

Daddy's dressing skills

Okay, so I went to the ice rink this morning and told Andy to get Calleigh dressed.  He asked, "Is there an outfit out for her, or should I find something for her." I said, "No, I didn't get anything out, but just find something to put on her." Well that was a little mistake.  I know, Andy tries really hard, but all mothers know that its just not the same.  When I got home from the ice rink, Calleigh was wearing a light pink skirt, a light pink long shelved shirt, a pair of striped brown and tan legging pants and a pair of white socks pulled up towards her pants.  All with a fuchsia and lime green bow.  I am proud that he actually took the time to finish the outfit with a bow. Way to go dear!!!  He said that she needed a bow because they went out to the grocery store.  I said, "You took her out in public with this outfit."  I know Calleigh doesn't care, but mommy cares.  I guess next time when Andy asks, "Is there an outfit out for her?" I will make sure to say YES.
