All I want for Christmas

I don't think she had to go to the bathroom, she was just "adjusting" the new big girl underwear that she is wearing all day long now!

We have really been enjoying getting ready for Christmas. This year feels a whole lot different, since we have finally settled into our house, we don't have our beloved Chappy, and of course we have a new member in our family!!!!! Only two ornaments have been broken so far, and the tree looks beautiful despite the huge accumulation of ornaments on the lower 1/3 of the tree. :)

We are so happy living in Maple Grove, as we have enjoyed countless, fun, and FREE community events. (Well, maybe I should say that our taxpayer dollars are being put to good use.) Myah enjoyed sitting on Santa's lap and seeing real reindeer at "Santa's Magical Workshop" and also had great fun trick or treating at the MG Fall Fest. in the last couple of months. This weekend we are hoping to attend the MG twinkle parade, too.

Thanksgiving at the Dyrud's! Most of the grandkids and the 3 great-grandparents!

Spending quality time with Aunty Josie for the first time!

We were listening to Christmas music in the car this morning (of course, now that it is after Thanksgiving, Phil will let me!) and we heard, "All I want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth" and Myah sang along with her version, "All I want for Christmas is my two thirteen"! Too cute :)
