Christmas and such!

Well, we had quite a nice small Christmas this year! It was definitely different to not have any of my siblings home for Christmas! On Christmas eve we did our usual Shepard's Dinner which was just lovely! It was just my mom and dad and terry and I and of course Mae. Mae was loving being able to try all the different drinks that we had! Then on Christmas morning I made breakfast and we opened some presents. Then we went to church at 11 to hear my dad speak. It was great!

Mae enjoying all of her new coloring books. My favorite line from Mae this year was when she was opening a caillou dvd she exclaimed "a Caillou book, Just what I wanted!!!" Where did she even hear that line from! Terry and I just cracked up!

Terry opening the toaster that santa brought him this year.

Mae's new favorite thing lately has been for us to take pictures of her and she will do different faces like: scary!

probably silly or funny
scary again with daddy
obviously scary is her favorite one to do!
Happy!
Here are a few fun pictures of Mae...

There is actually a really funny story that goes with the next 2 pictures. So a few nights ago Mae had thrown up in her bed so I let her sit on the couch and color while I cleaned up so she could go back to bed. I was very tired and suggested that Mae could bring her markers and coloring book back in bed with her in attempts to get her to go peacefully back to bed. Well, it worked but in the morning we woke up to this... And in the middle of the night Terry checked on her and thought oh no, she has thrown up again and it is all over her face...but no, when he turned on the light to get a better look it was just marker! Smart I know to let my 2 year old have markers in her bed with her...it was late ok!!! And I was tired of cleaning up throw up!!!
She had carefully colored her nose, eyes, hands and as much of her face as she could!!
