Christmas Photos

We had a visit from Santa Claus this year. Maya hid under a table as soon as she saw him walk in the house. 

We really enjoyed gluing a cotton ball onto Santa's beard every day. This is Maya showing me where she is going to glue the last cotton ball. 

Yay! No more cotton balls means that Santa comes that night! 

Christmas Eve pajama party at my dad's house. I was reading 'The Grinch' to Maya and Ashlyne.

Christmas morning. Santa brought this adorable piano.

Santa also brought an actual Dinosaur Train! 

Grandma Mary Lou and Grandpa Miles came over to celebrate Christmas morning with us. 

Princess binoculars! 

Princess tiara and wand!

Santa even brought stockings for Grandma and Grandpa.

Maya wanted her Cinderella dress on as soon as she opened it. 

And Grandpa was asleep as soon as Maya finished opening her presents. 

Trax

Ever since Maya saw the television show 'Dinosaur Train' she has been obsessed with trains. She think that every train she sees is the Dinosaur Train. Because of this I have been wanting to take her for a ride on Trax and last night we finally did. I love seeing her experience new things and watching the expressions on her face. I just love this girl.

When Maya dresses herself......

Oops!

I accidentally left the lipstick that I used for Halloween out the other day and while I was getting ready Maya found it. This is the result. (Red lipstick is kind of hard to get out of skin. I learn something new everyday.)

Happy Halloween!

Princess Maya

Today Maya found her flower girl tutu (the one she didn't want to wear at Josh's wedding) and decided that she now loves it. Needless to say, she had to wear it all day long and even refused to take it off at bedtime.

She also wore her new pink snow boots most of the day. She loved running in the small patch of snow that hasn't melted from our grass yet.
