The Best Christmas Yet...

For the first time EVER we got Morgan to actually pose for a picture! She sat in front of the tree and said "cheese"....so cute!

Christmas morning, we woke her up to open her presents. Her Elmo Restaurant was the first thing she saw. And she was very good at ripping open the rest of her gifts!

We bought her her 1st Cabbage Patch Kid. I was so excited to see her play with it b/c that was one of my favorite toys when I was little.

She liked coloring the wrapping paper on the present Aunt Tabitha gave her. At least she wasn't coloring on the walls, I guess!!

And there she is, in the middle of all her Christmas presents!

She helped me open my gift from her and Rodney. It was a tile with her hand prints on it with her name and the date. The sweetest gift ever! And there's Rodney opening his presents from me, lookin absolutely thrilled...

And, my absolute favorite moment from the whole day....

I got to spend Christmas exactly how I was hoping to...with my 2 favorite people, my perfect little family. Who could ask for a better day than that?

Santa Claus at Lowe's

Dad to Morgan and Bella to Lowe's to see Santa Claus a few days before Christmas. Lowe's employees were all invited to bring their kids and grandkids for pictures with Santa. They even had lunch and dessert for everyone. The store manager was the lucky one who got to dress up as Santa Claus!

Don't ya just love how Bella's tryin to act shy!

Morgan just wanted to open her present! (They provided presents for all the kids.)

Petit Jean with the Hardage's

We spent the weekend before Christmas with Rodney's family at Petit Jean. They got 2 cabins and everyone hung out and played games all weekend. Morgan and Lexi had lots of fun together!

Rodney's Dad & Felicia bought Morgan a little princess car for Christmas! Doesn't she look so big? Can't wait til they buy her a REAL car!! he he he :)

Happy Halloween! ( I know it's a little late!)

Morgan dressed up as a munchkin / lolipop kid from the Wizard of Oz. We went trick or treating at the mall with Bella and Brianne. Everyone thought she was an elf!

5 Days in Maine

We went to Maine (and other parts of New England) for 5 days! It was so beautiful up there this time of year. Our hotel, the Bar Harbor Inn, was even more beautiful! It had an awesome view from the patio.

Morgan found some leaves in a parking lot that she wanted to play in. I'm sure the people walking by were wondering why the heck we were snapping pictures in a pile of leaves in a parking lot. I'd say, we definately looked like out-of-towners!!

And there was a cool little lobster that she played on for a minute outside an ice cream shop!

And a swing set with a slide....I think she had a great time! :)

AND THEN ON THE ONLY RAINY DAY.....

We went to this place called All Fired Up. It was a cool little shop where you could paint your own pottery or make other 'crafty' things! We decided to do a mosaic on a whale, since it's kind of "maine-related!" Morgan just wanted to eat everything!

Aren't we cute in our aprons?!!

We also did some sightseeing that day. We drove to Bass Harbor Lighthouse. It was awesome! And we walked down on the pier in front of our hotel. Isn't our hotel bad ass?!

We had a great, great time....we're even considering MOVING there!!! :)

Mo and Bella's Sleepover

Morgan & Bella had their first sleepover a couple of weekends ago! It was the weekend of Bella's 2nd Birthday, so we figured it'd be a fun present for her!! They were so hilarious together!

Bella just plopped down in the floor, so Morgan got down there with her!

AND...of course I got lots of pictures of them in the bath tub!!

MO's Pig Tails

I can never get Morgan to keep stuff in her hair, but I finally got her to in the bathtub the other night! She just didn't understand what the big deal was!

Good gosh! She is so adorable!

They even look adorable from behind! :)

Morgan's 1st Fair

We took Morgan to the Garland County Fair last night. We went with my parents & my sister and her husband and Bella. It was Morgan's first time to go the fair.

Morgan and her "Pop Pop"! (That's what she calls Poppy!) She was such a good girl, holding his hand the whole time.

We each rode the Carousel with her. She wasn't scared at all...she loved it!

This is my favorite picture from the night. Morgan with my 2 favorite guys! :)

Bella cheesin!

Morgan and her balloon...before she let go of it!!

We're all sweaty and ready to go home
