Paisley 17 months old 12-11-10

Paisley turned 17 months this past Saturday, the 11th. She still amazes us everyday with how smart she is and is talking now more than ever! She is so very excited about all the lights this Christmas! We are looking forward to Christmas morning even though Daddy has to work Christmas day!

A few past pics from November

We've had so much going on since Thanksgiving that I never posted any of our November happenings. Here are a few of my favorite pics from November! Paisley in her zebra dress!

Paisley putting on a show before heading out to dinner one night! She has the bubbliest personality!

Reed turned 1 on Wednesday, November 24. We always have Thanksgiving at my Mom's the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving so we celebrated for the 2nd time on his actual birthday! Here's the HAPPY Birthday boy!

Paisley seems to be the "leader of the pack"!

All the lil one's playing before Thanksgiving dinner!

One more try!

Me-Maw and Paw-Paw gave all the grandchildren "Elf on the Shelf" so Aunt Brooks reads the story that tells about "Elf on the Shelf"

Paisley on Thanksgiving day!

Me-Maw's birthday was on Thanksgiving Day this year...November 25! Here's Paisley checking out part of her gift!

We put up our Christmas tree the Saturday after Thanksgiving! Here's Paisley putting on an ornament!

I was decorating the tree and turned around and looked and Paisley had layed down in the floor and fell right asleep! Putting up the tree is hard work!

Checking out the ornaments when she awakes! She is so amazed at all the lights this year! She is going to be loads of fun Christmas Day!

Ho Ho Ho!

Thursday a week ago we (Kevin, myself, Paisley, Whitney, Tucker, & Reed) visited the Legendary Santa in Richmond at the Children's Museum of Richmond. This was a tradition for my sister and I growing up so we want it to be the same for our kids. The only difference is that Santa was at Miller & Rhodes when we were coming up and now he has a permanent home at the Children's Museum. Paisley is not quite sure about Santa this year and Reed is not fond of him either. Tucker on the other hand thinks he's great! We only had about a 5 minute wait...now when Whit and I were growing up we waited HOURS to see the REAL Santa! We had a FUN and BUSY day as we left home at 8 AM and didn't return until 8 PM! These 1st 2 pics were snapped by the photographer at the Children's Museum...they happened to get Paisley before she burst into tears! Reed on the other hand...they weren't fast enough!

Waiting patiently!

The beautiful Snow Queen!

Paisley with the worried look!

Tucker and Reed!

Tucker telling Santa that he wants a drum set now that Reed isn't screaming in his ear!

Paisley thought it was great that Santa was talking to Tucker instead of her!

Whitney and Reed listening to Tucker talk to Santa!

Much fun at the museum after talking to Santa! Paisley loved the lights!

There's Santa!
