Fun

We had so much fun in New Mexico! Lots of laughter and good memories were made.

Bailey was hiding in Great Gramie's lap!

We are so glad we got to spend time with Great Gramie and Papa Shoe.  We are glad they came down from Washington for Christmas.  Love you, two!

Bundled up to play at the park

We saw a huge snowball and when we walked over to it,
it was as big as Bailey!

Silly hats for a silly girl!

Nana's little helper

Bailey's buddies, Ethan and Shane aka Train Conductor
and Giraffe.

Little Critter stories

Look at my bows!   (Marianne?)

New hopscotch game--thanks Amber and Josh!

Naptime!

Dinner at Rudy's BBQ before heading back the
next morning to CA.  Crazy faces!

Explora

We took a trip down to Explora, a great Science museum, with Nana and Auntie Katie.  I think the adults had just as much fun as Bailey did!  

How far will the car go?

Silly faces

Building waterways for ping pong balls

Playing the piano

This is my favorite picture!  We got to play with a huge tub filled with bubble solution and got to make huge bubbles!

The video of Katie putting Thomas inside a bubble didn't upload, but you can imagine it was pretty funny and cool.  

Merry Christmas Part 2!

Christmas morning we opened stockings and a few presents before church.  Bailey opened my stocking for me, then Thomas' for him, and finally hers.  

Even though there are candy canes in front of Bailey's face,
you can still tell her smile is just huge!

Santa brought a baby doll cradle that Santa Bear tried
out right away.

Little Chef

After church, we came home to open the rest of the presents and eat a yummy lunch.

Nana and Papa gave Bailey a Bitty Baby doll which she named Sarabeth.  Bailey is a good little mama and Sarabeth is a sweet baby.  Thanks, Nana and Papa!
We had a wonderful Christmas and are so thankful we were able to spend time with both of our families!

Merry Christmas!

We kicked off our Christmas celebrations this year on Christmas Eve morning.  We had so much fun with Thomas' family.  Bailey wanted to help pass out presents as well as help everyone open their presents.

Our little princess loved her new dress up clothes from
Auntie Katie and Uncle Skyler.

Thanks Auntie Alli, Uncle Darrin, and Charley!

Ready to bake cookies in her kitchen thanks to
Grandma and Grandpa!

In the afternoon we headed down to my parents' house to open presents with the Shoemaker families.

Again, helping open presents, but I don't think anyone minded.

Favorite gift of the night--thank you
Great Gramie and Papa Shoe!

Bailey took pictures of everyone and everything!

Our favorite Christmas Eve game.  Uncle Bud finally
unwrapped the impossible gift but made a huge mess!

Happy Birthday, Jesus!  How thankful we are that Baby Jesus was born.  It's been so special to see Bailey
learn and retell this precious story.
