Left Over Christmas Pics : )

Anna Claire had Christmas with Mommy and Daddy on Christmas Eve, well what was left from her opening some of her presents from us early.





 She made this rug for us at COF for Christmas.  The little Snow People are her foot prints.
 And below are some bells, that I'm ok with never seeing again. LOL!!

Christmas with Grammy

We had Christmas with Grammy on the 22rd.  Granddaddy had to work, so he couldn't come.  Anna Claire is no doubt spoiled rotten.
It was pajama day at school, so that's why she was in her PJ's.



 REAL JESSIE BOOTS!!
 You can see her excitement even from her profile.
 She LOVED Rex!!


The 23rd we went to Nana and Papa's, but I left the camera at home.  I did take the above picture of her before we left.  She is growing so fast!!

The Weekend...........

Anna Claire made this rug at school for me.  {Not that I have put it in the floor!!}  The snowmen are her foot prints and as you can see the Anna Claire snowman is wearing a hair bow.  We LOVE COF!!

Our weekend was pretty busy and lots of fun!  Friday, I took a half a day vacation and finished Christmas shopping.  Friday night Kerry, Anna Claire, and I decorated a Gingerbread house.



Anna Claire was really more interested in eating the candy and the icing, than she was decorating.  I guess the icing around her mouth gives that away.  : )
Saturday morning they had open house at Dancy's, so we got to see Anna Claire dance.  The dress code was Christmas attire.  You know, red, green, white, tutu, leotard, etc.......  I found the cutest Christmas tutu and stressed until I found a red leotard to go under it.  Friday night after making the Gingerbread house, I was cutting and sewing a pair of my socks to make red and white stripe leg warmers because I felt like she needed something extra.  It's a good thing that I did because the tutu didn't last long.  I managed to talk her in to 2 pictures before she took it off, during a dance I might add.
How cute is she?  You can tell how unhappy she was, regardless of how cute I thought she looked.  All the little girls had on some type of tutu as they do every Saturday, well all of them except my child.  Mine is apparently to cool to wear tutus.  She claims they make her "itchy", but it's funny that this just started last month and she's been dancing since August.  Anyway.......
Here she is tutu less and about to cry because she needed a hug from her Mommy.
She got her hug and was good to go.
What about those leg warmers?!?!  LOL!!


After dance class we went home, changed clothes, and then headed to see Santa.
 And she LOVED him!!  She asked Santa for a Buzz Lightyear and a baby sister.  She doesn't really want a baby sister, her Daddy put her up to asking for that.
After the Santa visit and some shopping, we headed home for a nap, before heading to Christmas with part of Big Daddy's Family.
She changed clothes for the 3rd time before we left.
Here she is rocking with her MeMe.


She loved Charli-Ann until it came to sharing the rocking chair and her new baby doll with her.  This proves that she does not want a baby sister and if she decides that she does, we will just go borrow Charli-Ann.  : )

We Danced, Partied, and Shopped

That pretty much sums up our weekend.  Friday night the guy came over and hooked up the new HVAC unit for our upstairs, so after he left Anna Claire and Kerry played upstairs until bedtime.  She loves her new playroom and bless her heart she only got to play in it for about a week before the heating and cooling unit went completely out, but she is back in business again.  

Saturday was a very busy day!!  We got up, got ready, and took Anna Claire to dance class.  After dance class we headed to Bell Buckle to a birthday party, then we dropped Daddy off at home so he could get a nap in before going to work, and Anna Claire and I headed to meet MeMe to watch the Christmas parade.  After the Christmas parade we did a little shopping in Murfreesboro with MeMe.  Anna Claire spent the night with MeMe and Big Daddy, so I wrapped a few presents and put some bows on some of the gifts.

Sunday we headed to Church and after Church I went grocery shopping.  It was my birthday, but it was so cold and snowy I chose not to go out to lunch.  I just wanted Anna Claire home and not running around in the cold, so she went home with MeMe and Big Daddy while I grocery shopped.  Kerry slept while we were gone because he had to be back at work Sunday night.  Everything was calm all day and Anna Claire even behaved all day long!!  LOL!!  At one point she rounded the corner in the Kitchen and broke out singing Happy Birthday to me.  It was so sweet!!  It was a great day!!  I got new black boots, 2 pairs of flats, and some Under Armour pants from MeMe and Big Daddy.  Kerry and Anna Claire got me a new Vera Bradley purse and wallet.  He was relieved that the ladies at the Pomegranate took care of him.  Bless his heart!!  Kerry and I don't usually do gifts for each other on birthdays and Christmas, but this year it had to change.  Anna Claire is old enough now that she wants to give Mommy and Daddy gifts for their birthday and Christmas too.   So, back in November, her and I went to Murfreesboro and got Daddy's birthday present.  She was so excited to give him his gifts and then a few weeks ago her and Kerry went shopping for my birthday gift.  {I've actually had the purse since November 26th, I just waited until today to carry it because as soon as I walked in from shopping on the 26th Anna Claire came running with the gift wanting me to open it.  I think she may have gift keeping issues like her Daddy and I.}   The best gift though was having my family around and everyone being healthy and happy. 

Now, I'm sure you remember this picture from when Anna Claire went to the pumpkin patch, right?  She was telling the Scarecrow all about it!
Well, Santa wondered in to the birthday party Saturday in Bell Buckle.  They were having Christmas in Bell Buckle last weekend, so he was out and about.
So, here she is telling Santa all about it!!  She LOVED Santa this year and could not wait to see him when we passed him in the parking lot.  She, of course, thought Santa was only there to see her because in her little eyes it's all about her.  LOL!!  She did ask Santa for Buzz Lightyear for Christmas, which was a relief because some days she tells me some off the wall things she wants for Christmas.
