Christmas Afternoon

On Christmas afternoon we went to Grammy's house!

All ready to go, we had to tell her Grammy had a New Blue Truck for her so we could get her to leave without a meltdown.

Christmas Morning

Merry Christmas!! We spent Christmas morning at our house...

All of Ladybugs loot!

 Bug wasn't sure what to think!

 Checking it all out

 "Santa ate my cookies!!"

 Definitely the winner!

 She asked Santa for a tape measure?!

Excited about her toolbox

 Mom's turn!

 Pups were lounging around too

 Singing on her T-Pain Microphone!

 Watch out puppies!!

Christmas Eve Morning

On Christmas Eve Morning, Grammy came to make cookies with us!  Bug found a new love...cookie dough.

Bug tried to add "just a little bit"

 We lost the recipe about half way through, Bug placed it on her "fridge" so we could find it :)

So proud of her cookies!!

This past weekend we ventured out to SeaWorld for the Christmas Celebration!  Bug as always had a blast.  It was a bit cold but it didn't slower her down one bit!!

The seals were still hungry... 

 "I want to see!!"

 This little sea lion was playing peek-a-boo with her...

 Clyde and Seymour did a Christmas Show!

 Baby Shamu is now doing tricks with his mom

 Our Ladybug

She did great during her caricature! 

 Swinging with the Sharks

 They did a great job with the Christmas decorations

 She loved the carousel!  Surprise, surprise!

 The lights were great!

 Bug starting getting sick the morning after...lets pray she kicks it by Christmas!

Christmas Ballerina

Today Bug had her last day of dance for 2011, just a short break for the Holidays.  They had a little party so Tim came along too.  It is really fun to watch...who would have thought she would enjoy it so much!

A little warm up video...

Here is the Christmas Dance, this one is a bit long.  The first part is practice and the second has the music behind it.  You decide which one is better :)

Santa 2011

We went to see Santa at Bass Pro Shop again this year and we all had a feeling it wasn't going to go well.  We had too good of years in the past, see 2009 & 2010.  This year when you asked Bug if she wanted to go see Santa she would respond with, "I already saw Santa!", "when Bug", "Tomorrow".  So we all knew this might be that year...the year of the screaming Santa picture.

Leroy and Grandma met us up there...
