Pictures

This was our Thanksgiving at Justin's sister, Carrie's, house. Merilee and her cousin, Coyt, are both getting ready to blow out their birthday candles. Coyt's birthday was Merilee's due date, the 17th. Striking family resemblance, huh!



This is a picture of Merilee's first piece of "art". She drew this cat and was so proud of it. Merilee said the cat's tail was inside it's body and that is why she didn't draw it. It is amazing how far her drawing has come in a few short months.


Cara and Merilee after playing with the Christmas toys at Walmart. It wasn't very busy in the store so we took over the aisle and had fun dancing to all the musical stuffed toys.

Visiting with Santa at Justin's work party. Merilee has always loved Santa...Cara, not so much!
Cara and Merilee playing at the play center at the Promenade in Tulsa. We went to visit Justin's sister and her family. Their twin boys are one day older than Cara. It was pretty crazy at the mall on a Saturday afternoon!!


Leighanne and Cara at the play center.

Another picture of Merilee and Santa. This was Walmart's Santa and they printed a free 5x7 from the photo center! However, they only print one so we chose to have a screaming Cara in the picture too (for the memory, ha!)


We also went and visited some good friend of ours who recently had a baby girl (six weeks ago). Merilee tried to help too much but did really well holding Kaylena. I just have to say (because she will probably read this) that this family is a keeper! Calista and I have shared a lot growing up and we are still good friends. Now we can share in the trials and joys of motherhood!! We love you guys. P.S. Kaylena is beautiful...I can't remember if I told you that the other day.
Well that catches everyone up on our activities the last week or so....until next time!!

Cute pictures! Don't worry - I'm sure Cara will warm up to Santa when she knows what he brings her each year! :o)

I love how Walmart is fun for all ages to play at...but it looks like that was a really fun day! Merilee looks so much younger in person than she does in all of these pictures...that is just something I picked up on :) ---Morgan

What darling pictures! I loved Merilee's picture. Her earings are so cute. She is all girl, huh!
I'm not sure what one year old loves Santa. Ella looked at our Santa like he was about to abduct her...oh well.
