Erin and her new Tryke

Erin got a tricycle for Christmas from Grandma and she is about 2.5 seconds from taking off on it! She almost has pedaling down. There'll be no stopping her this summer! (Also, as you can tell, Erin now tolerates having hair accessories in her hair! Mommy is going to have so much fun!!)

Christmas #5 of 5: Grandpa's House

The last stop on the Christmas tour was Grandpa's house.  Grandpa, Susan, Aunt Allison and Aunt Katie were there along with Susan's parents and her brother, Scott.  She gave Grandpa a big hug when she arrived!
A piano!

Christmas #3 of 5: Christmas Morning at Home

Santa brought Erin lots of gifts since she was such a good girl this year!

Erin got a Princess microphone in her stocking and knew exactly what to do with that too!  She held it up to her mouth and sang along  to "Under the Sea" from the Little Mermaid (if you count "Ahhhhhhhh oohhh aaaahhh" as singing!)

Erin also got a Tinkerbell chair. Tinkerbell and Princess go well together

Merry Christmas Daddy!

"Look Mom, this cat lets me touch it!"


Apparently next year we should save our money and buy boxes...

We had a nice relaxing morning at home with the family. We enjoyed Pecan French Toast (which was delicious!) and went to church at 11.

Snowballs and Snow Angels

While Daddy shoveled the driveway, we played in the snow before dinner!  Erin loved throwing snowballs.  Then we showed her how to make snow angels.  We couldn't get her to stay out of the snow!!!
