Christmas 2011

What a difference a year makes!  Take a look at these pictures from last Christmas ....

 

This year we have hair, teeth and can run ... but still have that same beautiful smile!

 Don't mind the crazy hair -- this was just after naptime.

Florida Trip

Wow -- it has been awhile!  A few quick updates ... we went to Florida for Thanksgiving to visit Monica's family.

The princess of the hotel pool

Taylor, Monica and Monica's grandmother, Joan.  We were visiting Granny (Monica's great-grandmother) and tried to get a photo but it didn't quite work :)

 

Monica's Dad had an inflatable Mickey Mouse up for Christmas.  Taylor was so excited!!  She tried saying the magic words to make the clubhouse appear but alas it didn't work. :)

 

South Haven

We went with all of Chris' family to South Haven for the week.  Here are a few pictures from our adventures ....

 Family picture

 By the end of the trip, Taylor would point out the front door telling us that she wanted to go play at the playground.

 The whale was her favorite!

 Mom was not around for this! :)

 What a picture!  She is either yawning because she is so tired from all of the fun activities or yelling at Mom that she doesn't want to put sun screen on one more time!!  I believe that it was the first!

 Eating her ice pops to help make her teeth feel better!

 Eating ice cream at Sherman's

 Taylor's first ice cream cone ....

 .... but she likes Aunt Abby's better!

Taylor's birthday gift for the new deck

Happy family, minus Taylor who got a fever in the middle of her party ... poor thing!

One giant cupcake for such a big girl!

Easter and Mother's Day

Easter

It is getting harder and harder to take pictures of Taylor without her being held because she wants to get the camera (as you see here)!

Grandma and Taylor on Easter

 Our first Mother's Day

 Taylor only wanted Uncle Mikie all day ....

 Which led to some tired people later in the afternoon!

Helping Grandpa blow out his candles on his birthday cake

Playtime

Mommy look what I found?  Yes, that's Daddy's laptop charger.  If we need anything found, she is our girl!

Having fun on a sunny day...she needs a break, playing is hard work!

Such a big girl!

Grammie's Visit

Grammie came to visit us in the middle of March and we learned to dance! :)

Grammie is probably telling Baby T. how perfect she is ...

Great picture! 

Where is your hat Grammie?
