Quick Stop Santa

Santa was spotted last night at the Melessa house leaving way to many toys.
He came early so he wouldn't miss us knowing that we are heading to Utah early Christmas morning and that dad works all days leading up to it.
How thoughtful of him. But I didn't get what I wanted. And I came up short when Paul mentioned his hope too. Dang.

Put em up put em up.

This is the most annoying sounding horse in the world when you are trying to get some shut eye. But if it will keep her from not drawing on walls for 19 minutes a day...Ill take the neighing.

Word to the wise: this hut is NOT collapsible, I repeat it DOES NOT collapse. If I had known what a pain it is to get together and take apart, I wouldn't have let Paul tear apart the box it came in, in efforts to conserve the trash bin and return its sorry soul.

Grammy Joan...NO MORE PRESENTS. got that? :)
that goes for you too Nana.

Hi-5

Guess who turned 5 years old yesterday?!!

Our little South Carolina Girl.

All day yesterday she kept saying "I just cant believe I'm 5!, I just cant believe I'm 5!"
Well you know what missy...me either.
She wasn't too happy about getting ready for the day and hittin up preschool.

But her mood quickly changed when she found this hiding under the birthday part of the Christmas tree....
I could not even stop myself from buying it. Would you be able to? I thought not.

She was a little bit happy...just a smidge.
I should have gotten her a new pair of brown tights too...

We played, and played, protected the house from a certain brother and his gun, played and played...

Then slipped into something more comfortable, went upstairs, ate lunchables, and danced to disco music all afternoon...okay maybe 30 minutes.

After a 2 1/2 hour nap, grilled cheese and nachos....these topped off the night.
Have you ever put marshmallow creme in frosting? Delicioso.

I love my Leah bug, smarty pants, South Carolina girl, mamas girlfriend, soft hearted, Prince Caspian loving, green pea hating, daddy's girl, salsa dancing, swim suit wearing,
beautiful 5 year old.

Distracted

Never send a child to do a childs work.
