Day 7 - Bathtime!

Grammy Paulette (who lives in Hawaii) is coming to visit tomorrow - we're going to pick her up from the airport, so the little Princess is taking a bath!  First time in her big-girl seat (thanks, P.Mike & Sharon!) - she loves bathtime!

~XOXO~

Day 6 - Ruffle Butt!

Surprisingly, it's somewhat difficult to find baby clothes with ruffles on the butt!  I thought I remembered having LOTS of butt-ruffles for little girls, but we don't have that many clothes for Princess featuring the cute little accents.  Here's one such outfit - SUCH a cute little (tired little) tushie!

Day 5 - (Wife) of a Preacher Man

Pastor Jason, our friend and the youth pastor at the DC Church of the Nazarene, is out of the country taking his first Master's Class over in England, so he asked some of the other youth group leaders to fill in.  James preached tonight for LTV - topic for the night:  "God is Extraordinary!"

Day 4 - Beach Hat

Princess got a cute Hawaiian-flower print hat from cousin Morgan.  But Princess takes after her mommy and has a big head, so I'm sad to say, it fits NOW - and definitely will not by the time spring/summer comes around again.  =S  But she looks super cute in it today!!

Day 3 - Ah, Christmas

So... Christmas is over, but our tree is still up - partly because we're too lazy/busy to take it down (b/c then we'll have to rearrange the living room shelves 'n' stuff), and partly because Princess likes (I like) to look at it!

Here's our tree - one pic showing the pretty lights, and one so you can see the new decorations we got this year - all BRIGHT, fun colors!  Hot pink, lime green, deep purple, bright blue... so pretty!

It's been tradition in my family that Hammaw gets us grandkids new Christmas ornaments each year - since we have a kid now, we're cut off and she gets an ornament each year.  I thought I'd use the opportunity to get new ornaments (keep mine packed away) and do something fun/theme-ish, since she'll only have two ornaments - a pretty little lamb that says "Granddaughter's 1st Christmas" from Gma/Gpa, and a sparkly gold angel from Hammaw.

 

Can't forget the Powercat - Gooooo, State, Go!!!

A favorite from a few years ago - maybe someday soon (11 1/2 months?) we'll decorate a palm tree for Christmas...

Kula had a good Christmas, too. Santa left her a chew in her tiny stocking, she and Grandma got to play with bubble wrap, and she helped everyone discover what their Christmas presents were (she tried to help eat Christmas goodies, but Mommy said she was not allowed).

She tried to see what present Uncle Waide got, and enjoyed looking at the pretty bubbles from Mommy, Daddy and Uncle Waide's stockings. 

Sweet baby Princess with Daddy and Mommy...

Mommy and her girls...

Hope everyone had a GREAT Christmas!

Day 2 - Snow Angel

Baby Princess made her first snow angel a few days ago - here's her perfect little mark, left to document her first big snow!  Great job, sweetums!  It looks soooo cute!

Day 1 - 365 Day Project, the beginning

So - I'm finally starting my own little 365-day Project! My wonderful Hollsberry-friend has been an inspiration for... (lemme look) 3 years and 79 days! I haven't been following hers that long (I had to play catch-up when I first learned about it), but always wanted to do my own. Now that we have a baby (and a furry baby), what great subjects to use! =)

So, speaking of my furry baby... She'll be a year old in a few days - and still likes to grab our baby Princess's stuffed animals, rattles, teething toys, you name it. Not that you can blame her, because they squeak, rattle, crinkle and look OH-SO-CUTE! So here's the latest victim: I was stopping at the back door to check the ice/snow outside and saw an extra-large white blob on the back deck. Walked outside to see this little white Prayer Bear, frozen solid with about a half-centimeter of ice frozen over his poor little body. But he was still praying! =)

Ran him under the water to thaw him out, then put him in the laundry. One trip through the washer/dryer and he's back to normal, good as new! Kula... leave the baby's babies alone!
