Walking!?!?!

Well not officially walking but Friday night Karlee Grace took 2 steps in the bath tub. I thought it was a freak accident.
 
 Then Sunday night at my parents house in the middle of their Christmas party she did it again, but this time it was more like 6 steps from Trish (my lil sisters best friend) to me. Then again to my mom, and then to Josh and so on! Girl is up to like 6-8 steps at a time WHEN SHE WANTS TO! Little stubborn thing really has not interest, I have kinda pushed her into this!
 
Guess we will see where it she goes from here.

SANTA...Nope Ms Donna!

WELL it LOOK's like Santa made a stop by our house today however it was just our awesome neighbor Ms. Donna! I could probably return everything I bought and Karlee Grace would still get a redic amount of gifts from her Mimi & Pepaw, Memaw & Grandpa, and then her aunts and uncles. Maybe next year we can get a wrap on the gift's because I don't want Karlee Grace to think the true meaning of Christmas is gifts. I want her growing up knowing we are Celebrating Jesus not Santa! Don't get me wrong, I'm all on board with Santa. Josh and I both grew up with Santa but I don't want Santa to be all the hype. Last Christmas was a fun first but this one is going to be AWESOME!!!!!!
 
Ms. Donna and Karlee Grace 
 
 
No need in walking because lil girl got a 4 wheeler.

 
And she is very excited about it!

 
Check out that lil smile! Just love it!

 

Christmas Parade

For years Josh and I have gone to the Christmas Parade so of course we would take Karlee Grace even if it was 42 degrees! However we only stayed for 30 minutes because we were about to FREEZE!!!!!! She loved it though! She was able to see the good stuff (police cars, fire trucks, horses). Her lil face was priceless! Her eyes were lit up with excitement!!
 
Layers of clothes include: tights, pants, socks, long sleeve onesie and sweatshirt PLUS a fleece blanket!
 
 
Oh the excitement!

 
Trying to keep her lil hands warm (yes I'm a horrible mom who didn't even think about gloves).

 
 
Hopefully next year it won't be quite as cold!
 
****Note: our city rescheduled the parade 2 times for rain (and it didn't even rain those evenings!) so of course it would be freezing the night they ended up actually having it!!!!!

Starting to feel better. We spent lots of time in our Christmas jammies!
