1st Snow Day Of 2009

Well, we got our 1st snow of the year. After Ben came home & MJ got off the bus they went sledding down our driveway.

Here she goes again:

Christmas Morning

We were really excited about Christmas this year! MJ has been asking if it's Chirstmas since we put the tree up. She got up about 7:50 that morning. When she saw all the toys she shouted "SANTA"! It was very cute. She got this Diana Ross hair do going on:

She got a lot of great toys from all of our families & friends! Me & Ben were also blessed- thank you to all! We got just one more Christmas here & we'll back in the states- hooray! Till next time- Happy News Year!

Here's MJ playing Hungry Hungry Hippos- a game that Mimi & Opa gave her:

Merry Christmas

From our family to yours:

I'll post tomorrow morning!

A Little Bit Of Everything

My brother Ben & his wife send us our Christmas gifts in a nice big box. MJ enjoy putting the gifts under the tree. She then enjoyed playing w/ the box. It's so big we can close her in it:

MJ had her "Red & Green" party on Thursday. Ben was lucky enough to get away from work to come. Here's MJ saying "Hey Diddie Diddle" w/ a little help from me. She can do it by herself too.


One night ben was playing his recording of him singing for me. MJ came down & decided to dance & play "music" for us:

Santa Take 2

We decided to go see Santa again at the Ramstein Community Center. We met up w/ my friend Melissa & her family.

My friend Melissa took these for us:

MJ wanted to look around before we saw Santa. They had a lot of cute displays there.

Then it was time for Santa. She went right up to him again:

Then it was Lauren's turn: Here's MJ w/ Santa:

Miranda In Wonderland

MJ made this little house at school one day. For some reason she thought it looked better as a hat. She remind me of Alice In Wonderland when she turned big after drinking that potion.

It's Been A While Santa...

On Saturday we wanted to take MJ to see Santa. We have not gotten a picture w/ Santa since her 1st Christmas. We asked her if she wanted to go & she kept telling us yes so we went for it! We talked about it all week & she still liked the idea so I got her dressed up that morning. My friend Jen B. gave me this cute dress. Before we left I wanted to get some shots for our Christmas picture.

Here's some of what we got:

Mom, can I please go see Santa now? I'm D-O-N-E: We were off to see Santa! He wasn't there at first so I left Ben in line while I chatted w/ a friend. Ben soon came & got us. We were worried that she wasn't going to do it since the kid in front of her had a melt down. She proved us wrong by going right up to him & climbing up on his lap. Plus, it didn't hurt that he had candy! When Santa asked what she wanted she told him "Presents"! Short, sweet & to the point! That's my girl! I think we're going to try to take her on Sunday to see Santa again w/ my friend Melissa W. & her family. I want to "try" to get some better shots of her.
