Photoshoot with Meredith

My friend Meredith took Elizabeth Grace's pictures the other day and I HAD to post some of them on my blog. They are gorgeous and I am so proud of Meredith's talent. She has become such a great photographer and I just know she is going to be very successful! I only snagged a few from her blog...if you want to check out a few of the others go to http://www.mlhphotojournal.blogspot.com/.

Christmas

This is the tent that her Grandmama & Grandpa made for her. It is so cool. She has already slept in it one night!

Elizabeth Grace was a very happy girl on Christmas morning. Santa brought her a pink bike with training wheels! She told me this morning that she could not get enough of that bicycle. She ended up riding around our house b/c of the nasty weather.

Santa also brought her a Leapster "game player" and she was all smiles. She wanted a Nintendo DS after being around her older cousins,but Santa decided she was a little too young for that so he found the next best thing. She said, "Mommy, I just can't believe Santa thought to bring me a game player." I'm going to post a few pics of some of the things she got and I'll try to post some more later.

Needless to say we all had a fabulous time at our house, and we hope that all of our friends and family had a wonderful Christmas as well!

Eli's First Haircut....finally!

I know what all of you may be wondering...why has it taken almost 4 years for Elizabeth Grace to get a haircut? Well, for one, her hair is crazy curly and it honestly never bothered me that she hadn't had a cut. Another reason for the delay is that I have been scared to death to get it cut. I knew that her hair would have to be done by someone who can cut curly hair and not chop it all up and make her look like Diana Ross on a bad day. Many of you may already know that my nickname for her whenever she wakes in the morning is Diane Ross. So, my beautician, Brandi, was the chosen one to do the job. Eli was super excited and her favorite part was getting her hair washed in the sink. She was all smiles and giggles and couldn't wait to show off her new look! Oh, yeah...this morning she says, " Mommy, am I Diana Ross this morning?" I told her that actually no, her hair was pretty smooth. So she ran into the bathroom, climbed on her stool to look in the mirror to see her beautiful hair and make sure she didn't resemble Diane Ross. What a nut!

The New Punky Brewster

If any of you know my child, then you know that whenever she hits the door of our house she wants to strip down to nothing but her panties. What can I say...she's a free spirit. Well, about a week ago I was vacuuming the house, Jonathon was asleep in the living room and Elizabeth Grace was watching tv in her panties. I had made it into the hallway with the vacuum cleaner and Eli pops out of her room and says, "Look at me Mommy...don't you love my outfit?" I almost fell over the vacuum cleaner. Needless to say I told her that she looked beautiful and I just had to take a picture of her. The best part was that her socks have tiny jingle bells on them and she thought she was tough stuff because her socks made noise whenever she walked. I just know she's going to be the next big fashion stylist...don't you agree? :)

FPK Christmas program

Eli and Ally were the cutest "sugarplum fairies" in the Christmas play at school. The children acted out the story, "Twas the Night Before Christmas." I have the worst camera in the world so all of the pics that Jonathon took during the performance are so blurry. I was able to snap a cute one of Eli and Ally before the play. They were too cute!
