Happy New Year!

Happy New Year.  Here is Magnolia getting ready for her first new years!  Yes, those are leg warmers that she is wearing!  Her new years resolutions are: crawling, walking, talking and getting some teeth!

Merry Christmas

Magnolia had a wonderful first Christmas.  She woke up at 7:30 in her Christmas pajamas and was ready for a day of fun!  After her Christmas breakfast she got to see what santa brought her.  Magnolia and Ziggy had lots of fun playing with their stockings.  Both girls were very good this year and santa knew it!  We then started opening gifts.  Needless to say, we got a little carried away shopping for Magnolia.  It is so much fun to buy her stuff!  She loved eating the paper, bows and ribbons!  She was so into the boxes, toys and wrapping that she sat on the couch for over an hour just taking it all in.  She was so cute and it was so great to see her on her first Christmas.  The rest of the day was spent playing with all the new toys and having fun.  We all got new pajamas just for the day so we spent most of our time in our pj's and relaxing.  

Santa Baby

Magnolia had a very exciting half birthday. She got to go sit on Santa's lap for the very first time.  She loved it and told him that all she wants for Christmas is her two front teeth!
