So we had to change time out into going in the corner and she

has to face the corner because she just thinks it's so funny to stand there and face

us. Rick and I were cracking up last Sunday because she was throwing a fit so

Rick put her in the corner and she had her face so smushed to the wall that she was

saying, " Am I done guys" but we couldn't hear her with her little nose that close, we were

hysterically laughing ( without her seeing us laugh of course) She is really good 99.9% of the time,

but that little 0.1% can make for an interesting day. :)

So Mia told me to come in her room last week to show me

how she drew our family. I freaked out! I couldn't believe

my eyes, she even put eyeballs inside the eyes and then the

classic legs attached to the head. Cuttest thing ever! I remember

my nephew Scott doing this too , but I was still just shocked that Mia is already doing it!

I showed my friend at school and she said some of her 1st

graders are barely drawing people like this, I just think it's precious.

Oh and I'm the one on the left by the way, Rick's is the grouchy one

and she said, "He has small ears mom."

Opportunity Village- we have to do this every year, it's a

super great cause, Mia got to ride the train, go on the Merry Go Round,

through a maze, and she even went down the big huge slide on her own,

but as soon as she made it to the bottom, she started crying like I can't

believe I just did that. Maybe she just held her breath the whole time!

Mom and Mia

Dad and Mia on the train

I can't even explain how sick I get on these things :(

walking around looking at fun stuff

going through the maze

On to the church Christmas breakfast. Here's Mia and

Grandma B.

After that we went to Floyd Lamb state park for a fun Santa/

cowboy day. It was all free and super fun. I thought this

Santa was really great!

I love his face here

While we were standing in line to ride Reindeer (ponies)

I took these pics of Mia

she was very excited that she got to ride on a "pink" pony

She even got to go in a Firetruck

moment of pout, I just love her bowtie lips from her dad!

standing by the firetruck, so Mia has been singing Christmas

songs ( she even did the whole Jingle Bells to an elderly couple

at the grocery store and they literally wanted to take her home)

She has also been singing that she's on Santa's naughty list, apparently

Rick told her about it when she wasn't being a good listener but forgot to

also talk about the "good " list, so we've been backtracking that one ever since!

More holiday fun to come!!
