Trouble Makin' Pony Tailed Cutie!

One of my new favorite pictures

Cali's first big-girl ponytail

Cali's trick she does. She likes to stand on her head and look through her legs. So funny to see!

Cali loves to feed her baby now that she has bottles

Paul and Cali

Uh oh! The box of ritz cheese sandwiches has a handle like a purse and Cali was so excited to carry it all around. She went in the other room and I didn't hear anything and decided to check on her. Here's what I found in my bedroom:

What a mess! Cheese everywhere! Cali was happyThis is the present Cali brough to me this morningSo nice

She had it wrapped all around herself and she thought she was so pretty in her TP dress


I thought it wouldn't hurt to let her play around with it for a while. Here she is dragging pieces all around the house
This afternoon, I was throwing out our gingerbread house and decided to let Cali have a go at it first. She thought she was in heaven

She didn't do much damage, just picked off the M 'n' Ms

Cali continues to surprise me and make me laugh. It is such an adventure to see what she comes up with next. I am such a lucky mom to be able to stay home with her everyday!

Christmas!

Our Christmas card this year was lovingly made by SWEET CHEEKS DESIGN by my best friend Jennifer. She does an amazing job and will create and change anything you want over and over (....and over and over for me!!). Check out her site (there is a link on the right side under "Favorite Websites"). She also does babies, birthdays, weddings, or anything you want! Thanks again Jen!

Disappearing Presents

My little princess has officially only been walking a month and she acts like she's been walking forever! She carries everythign around the house and has even started running a little. So cute! Now, we have a problem with the Christmas presents under the tree. They keep disappearing and reappearing opened! What a little monkey! So much fun.

It's Starting To Look Alot Like Christmas

Every year, Paul's family gets together to decorate gingerbread houses, one of my favorite traditions! We got together last Saturday and here is a pic of the fam and the 3 houses. Ours is the one in the middle

The left one is Carol's, the middle one is ours, and the left one is Ashley and Brew's

A better pic of our cute little house

Here is a video of Cali walking around stringing along some of my ribbon I was using to wrap our presents. She is walking so good!

If you were to come to our house at any time, this is what you'll see: Cali with her blanket in one hand and her balloon in the other. It didn't take her long to figure out how to take her 2 favorite things everywhere she goes!

Here is a video of what I see all day long. Cali just goes in circles over and over. Just ignore the daddy sleeping on the couch.

Cali's new phrase is "All Done!" Last week after I put her down for a nap one day. She just sat in there and played for about an hour (didn't go to sleep) and then started yelling something. After I went in to get her I realized she was yelling "All Done!" and I didn't even know she knew what it meant yet! What a funny girl!

Our house all decorated for Christmas

.....stealing 2 presents by the strings

Trying to get away before I noticed they were gone

It is time. We decided to take away the binky this week. Cutting the tip off only made her mad, so we dropped it cold turkey. She has been doing alot better than I thought she would only crying at naps and bedtime, but very little at night. Today is the 3rd day and I'm hoping she forgets about it by tomorrow. I left a plug protector laying around and this is what I found:

Paul got a new calling today. He moved from the 2nd counselor to the 1st counselor in our bishopric. I don't think it will be much different, because he has never been around much on Sundays since we've been married. I am excited for him, but we still miss him being around.
