Just wanted to share some new pictures......

Just wanted to share some new pictures of Maddie's new "big girl" haircut, making Christmas cookies, playing with a new friend and Santa's workshop.

I finally decided that we really needed to give maddie a really good haircut. Normally I just tell Linda to "trim it," because I've been so afraid of losing the curl. But I finally decided that it was looking too much like a mullet and really needed to be evened out. So she now has this really cute bob that makes her look so grown up! Yes, we did lose most of the curl, but she still has a little flip at the bottom and its super cute anyway.

Every year, for as long as I can remember, my mom and I have always made homemade Christmas cut out cookies. Its one of my favorite memories. This was Madilyn's 2nd year "helping" and really just taste testing......she's really good at that!!

A couple weekends ago, our friends Nicole and Sanjay came over with baby Paxton....who is OH SO CUTE! Madilyn loved playing with him and is so good around little babies. She constantly wanted to help....feed him, change him, rock him and get him a blanket. We got some really cute pics of them and for 2 days after she kept asking "where is baby Pax?" It was really great to hang out with all of them and catch up.......even if the guys can't seem to keep their beer in a glass!!! :-) Wait, close your eyes and pretend you dont know if its the can or the bottle, then decide which one tastes better!!!

Last Wednesday we went to the Metroparks for Santa's Workshop. We have a little tradition and go with Tree and Kailey every year. Dave had to work, so my mom went with us. The girls had a great time, as they always do when they get together. They scream and yell and jump around (gee, just like a typical girl) when they first see eachother! They each got to build a toy with Elf Brian, we grabbed a bite to eat and then went on the horse drawn carriage ride to see the lights. This year we decided not to even stand in line to see Santa. We walked past Santa when we were at the mall and Maddie is scared to death! She will look at him from afar, blow kisses to him and wave, but DONT GET CLOSE!! She holds on for dear life. After all of this she says......"I LIKE SANTA." Funny Funny girl!

And as you can tell by my beautiful layout, I still have absolutly no idea how to make my pictures corespond with the right paragraph. The first pic I download always ends up last. I am now wondering if I need to download all the pics first and then try to type my paragraphs next to the pictures. Oh well, try again next time! :-)
