So our Frankenmuth trip was fun as always! With two kids this year though, Mom and I both had a stroller...which was good for the kids - bad for us and the gazillions of people wandering around Bronner's! The place was a Christmas ZOO!!! Not to mention, my stroller maneuvering skills haven't gotten better with the second child.
But fun was had by all, Christopher did what he does best....
God Bless him for that!!
Carly really got into it this year and she even made a new friend!
This photo was taken right before she nearly knocked Mr. Bear and the ten lighted Christmas trees behind him over. And then we decided to break all of Bronner's rules and have her climb up with the Holy Family...
Pretty sure Bronner's frowns on hanging out IN the displays, but no one was telling my daughter she couldn't get her picture taken with Baby Jesus...
And God Bless her for that!!

Carly has been asking, from the day I told her winter was coming, WHEN it was going to snow. I have tried to explain to her that I do hair, I DON'T predict weather, but she doesn't seem to understand that.
So when she woke up at 7:30 the morning after our first winter snow fall, the first question was, "Can I go outside and play?" Of course we had no snow boots or snow pants that fit, so after an emergency trip to Walmart, I bundled my girl up and out she went!
(I should clarify that I was not outside, I took these fabulous photos from the inside of my very warm house...don't judge, I never claimed to be an outside gal myself!)

Next on the December agenda was Carly's very first Christmas concert at our church! She practiced her songs for weeks! And was so excited to sing, she did wonderful in rehearsal the day before my Mom said - getting into all the hand motions and everything! Come the morning of...total and complete stage fright! But in the end, she sucked it up and sang her little heart out (and played with her hair the whole time).

In between all this, we have had a few leisure days, of hanging around the house....
And some days of having friends over....
Christopher and his girlfriend Ella!
How Carly and her friend Kaylie got in here together I am not completely sure, but they waddled their way into my kitchen like this! Couple of goofs!
And then Christmas!!!
Oh yeah, Santa hit our house this year!! x2!!!
My baby boy celebrated his first Christmas! He liked the wrapping paper the most! And this picture is my favorite of Carly...
Bed head and all - she is a happy girl!
Merry Christmas to all! And a Happy New Year! See u in 2012.....
