SNOW! January 30th

I love this picture!! So sweet!!!

Earrings!!! - January 23rd

We had been telling Mere that we would take her to get her ears pierced when she was fully potty trained. She had been doing so well that we decided to go ahead and take her. We took her to Icing in Hendersonville. She did so good!!! She cried a lot when they pierced her first ear, but didn't cry as much with the second. Some of the pictures are very sad!! I hate to see my sweet girl in tears, but I was trying to look really excited in hopes that she would perk up sooner. The two purple lollipops did the trick :)

January 22nd

Mere drew her first smiley face today. She was playing on her chalkboard with my mom, and they called me to come to the playroom. It was the cutest thing!!! so I had to get a few pics. Here they are...

Christmas Cookies - December 24th

I have such fond memories of making Christmas cookies with my mom and Shannon...so I decided that Meredith and I would make them together this year. What was I thinking?!? She loves to help in the kitchen, but she is so dangerous!! I really had fun with her, but was exhausted by the time we were finished...about 2 hours later.

I prepared the cookie dough the night before, but we still had to roll it out, cut out the shapes, make the icing, and decorate.

Here are some pics. Enjoy! :)

Pictures with Santa

Meredith actually sat with Santa all by herself this year. And she told him that she wanted baby dolls and choo choo trains :)

The Nutcracker - December 11th

We took Meredith to see the Nutcracker...and we weren't really sure what to expect. She isn't always very good in public. She was so good, though...and she really liked it!! We were on the front row, so we had to put 2 booster seats under her so she could see the stage. Everyone around us commented on how good she was!! We were so proud of her, and had a wonderful evening!!!
