Christmas Cuteness

It's the night before Christmas Eve!  We've had two family Christmases so far, and we still have one more to go!  There are a million things to do tonight, but I couldn't resist sharing a picture of our adorable little one all dressed up for church!

We are having such a great time celebrating Christmas with family and friends and hope you are doing the same! 

Perfecting her beauty queen wave!

This morning I got Landrie all dressed up in her cute Christmas outfit to go to a Christmas parade with her daddy!

I've been doing a bit of sewing, and I loved making a Christmas outfit for her!!

Landrie and I went to watch the parade that Mark was helping with.  While we were driving there, he called and asked if we would like to be IN the parade and ride on the grand finale- THE SANTA FLOAT!!  Of course!!!

We hung out at the start of the parade and watched it there, so we could hop on the Santa one as it went by.  It was FREEZING and a nice police officer friend of Mark's insisted that we watch the parade from inside his heated truck.  Take a good, long look at Landrie's FIRST and LAST time to be in a police vehicle!

Landrie (and her snack trap) did great on the parade float with Santa!  She even managed to wave at some people in between her animal crackers.  Between all of the delicious snacks and parents screaming at their kids to look at Santa, Landrie didn't really pay much attention to Santa....

...but at the end of the parade, things settled down a bit and Landrie got to check Santa out.  How sweet is that look of utter adoration on her face??  I have a feeling Santa will be bringing her everything on her list this year!  Who could resist her sweet face?  :)

SO Thankful!!

What a great week of celebration!!  We are thankful for SO many blessings in our lives, and this week we enjoyed great time with our families.

We started off with a trip to Mark's grandma's house.

Landrie LOVES Christmas trees.  She blows kisses and waves at the little one in her room.  (Yes, it's seriously, ridiculously cute!!)  This one moved and had music, so you can imagine how much she loved it!  Aunt Judy, Uncle Steve and Great Aunt Kay joined us at Granny's to see Landrie.

Granny got Landrie a little tea set.  She's learned how to pretend eat and drink and even makes the little smacking noises!

She used her grandpa's spoon!!  Does it look familiar, PonPon?

Drinking tea with Granny. :)

 

After our huge, delicious breakfast.  Granny's a great cook!

*****************

Then, we headed on to Nonny's house.  My parents were already there with 3 of our nieces.  Kevin and Christy spent Thanksgiving in Hawaii, so we spent it with the girls!

We took several trips to Cole Park.  Adelynn and Anna loved it!  If you ever go to Corpus, you have to check out this playground that's right on the beach.  It's HUGE and the girls would have easily stayed there all day long.  

Landrie's feet hardly touched the ground the whole week.  Between two grandmas and 3 eager-to-help cousins, she was constantly entertained!

My mom and I were dying laughing as I tried to get a shot of all 3 girls in the air!  We counted to 3 over and over, and each time, each girl would jump at a different time.  

Sweet sisters! 

Nonny was reading to Landrie, and like she does to everything, she started kissing her book. 

You know this Aggie had to watch the A&M t.u. game Thursday night.  Whoop!!  Landrie looked so cute in her Aggie gear with her GranJan!

As soon as Thanksgiving was over, we started decorating for Christmas!

 

WOW!  Nonny has knitted a stocking for all 15 of her grandkids.  As each of us got married, she also knitted one for our spouses.  Of course, Nonny knitted them for her 13 great- grandkids too!  Last year she scrambled to make one for Landrie!  They have long since outgrown the mantle, so we hung them in a double row up her staircase.  

The week didn't end there!  In fact, it was just beginning...  We celebrated Nonny's 90th birthday!  We had almost 50 family members come into town and celebrate!!  That's another post for another day. :)
