Christmas morning...

Good morning...

This morning when daddy woke ME up at 8:30am he said wake up Shaelyn, Santa came to our house. I said Is he still here? Santa sure was generous to us this year! I got a new kitchen. Of course the first thing my brother did was open up the refrigerator door looking for food, as usual. ;) I was so groggy when I got up that I walked right by the new kitchen and didn't even notice. Thank you Santa for all of our goodies! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!

Merry McChristmas

Day two of the Christmas celebrations and I am loving it!! Thanks for my stylish new sweater Aunt Cherise and the perfectly matched hat Aunt Kellyann!! Thanks for sharing all of your toys Cousin Colin and can't wait til our next playdate so we can break in all of your new toys too!! LOL ;) Thanks for the excellent spread Aunt Kellyann...you outdid yourself!! Delicioso!!

The Everhard Family Christmas

Our Christmas celebration began early when the Everhard side of the family got together at our house. We had dinner and listened to Christmas tunes and opened lots of PRESENTS! Brendan had more fun with the bows and boxes than anything else. There was something for everyone. I think Uncle John scored a major hit again this year with his gifts. The Nerf blaster got a pretty big workout (sorry for the pummeling Pirate Pete...lol) as did the music cube. Thanks for everything!! :)

Santa Claus is coming to town...

We finally got to see Santa today! Brendan had just woken up from a nap and was plopped onto Santa's lap. I, however, was waiting patiently for the moment when he asked me the magic question. So what do I want this year Santa? TINKERBELL I responded excitedly! Mommy and I also got to tour the fabulous lights in downtown Rochester in the evening. The pics really don't do it justice. The entire downtown strip is lit up with every building lit from top to bottom. It was SPECTACULAR! The countdown to Christmas is REALLY on now! :)

Christmas at the Henry Ford

It's a winter wonderland for little and big kids alike. There was a whole re-creation of downtown Detroit built entirely out of Legos...AMAZING! Nothing that Uncle Kiki couldn't build in the basement on a Sunday afternoon. Right Uncle Kiki?? I think Papa had just as much fun as Colin & I did. :)

Snow Days

Where there is snow there are snow angels. :)

Tree Trimming

Our Christmas tree never looked better...thanks Brendan! :)

Turkey Day

Mommy is finally updating the blog...now THERE is something to be thankful for! Happy Thanksgiving. :)

Princess Party!!

I had the BEST birthday party!! It was a princess theme and I got all kinds of princess loot and my own little handheld computer game system!! We had pink cupcakes too - yummy!! Thank you to my whole family for all of the goodies! :)

Zing Zang Zoom

Barnum & Bailey Circus really IS the GREATEST show on earth!! I don't know who had more fun mommy & daddy or Brendan and I??!! It was amazing. When I called GG to tell her about the circus I asked mommy "Can I tell GG that the elephants pooped??!!" Which must've been the most memorable part of the show because when I went to school on Tuesday after the show there was another little girl in my class that told Mrs Ashley all about the elephant poop!! :) Thanks for the tix Aunt Kellyann!!

Happy Halloween

EEEEWWWW Pumpkin guts!! It sure was fun watching mommy carve up the pumpkins. I tried to help scoop 'em out but eeeewww gross they are awfully slimy on the inside. Good thing mommy isn't grossed out easily. ;)
