Merry Christmas!!

Friday night while chris was visiting his friends in Milwaukee. Me and Teagan decided to give Toby a haircut and a well-needed bath.





Teagan getting ahold of the camera and taking a video of me giving toby a bath...



Christmas Eve at my parents house.

Mr. Potato Head!!! She loves this toy. Thank you Aunt Barb and Uncle Andy!


Christmas morning at my parents house. We left cookies out for Santa and we were checking to see if he ate them all.



i just took this video to show off her cute little hat. every year my mom gets us all silly hats to wear for christmas. Teagan looks like Cindy Lou Who from the Grinch!



Teagan getting her froggy sleeping bag. Both grandparents must think alike, because teagan also got a teddy bear sleeping bag from her other grandparents.



Later that Christmas day we went to go see Chris' side of the family. Teagan and Andrew got to exchange christmas gifts. We will be planning to go somewhere together on our break. The two of them love to play together.



zooming time with Aunt kelly. First Teagan and Andrew went, then Teagan wanted more. she couldnt get enough.


Aunt Kathy is always to creative. She brought cookies with extra frosting and sprinkles for the kids to do. Teagan loved it! she ate about half of them though...

  
this is about 10:30 on christmas night. Teagan is all crazy from all the comotion that day, just look at her hair! She is putting pretty's in pop's hair.


This morning.
Teagan finally getting to the presents we got her... She is the slowest present opener. Every present she opens she wants to play with and wont do anything else until she plays with it for a while. this morning i kept asking her if she wanted to open her presents and she kept telling me "I will open them later". I dont get her at all. I thought all kids wanted to just rip through them faster than lightning??? oh well, at this rate, we will be opening christmas presents till next year...


Making me a sandwich with her new play food. the concept of the bread going on either side of the fixings was just not fathomable (if that is even a word).


These presents are from great grandma Margie!! Thank you great grandma Margie!

12-18 to 12-25-2011 Merry Xmas

baking cookies

We went over to Andi's house yesterday and baked cookies all day. it was so much fun. Teagan got really involved and helped us make cinnamon ornaments with grandma G, and then made chocolate mint cookies and lemon cookies with aunt andi. she loved it! Teagan helped pour the sugar, mint, crack the eggs, and stir the dough. She even helped aunt kathi put buttons on the gingerbread men/butterfly's. This is going to be such a fun christmas tradition. hopefully next year i will actually bring something to bake. I am not much of a baker to begin with, but this year i had a really good excuse. i couldnt do anything because of my hand. for those of you who do not know i burned it real bad wednesday night while cooking a nice dinner. last time i try to cook steaks in the oven/stove while time managing everything else on the stove (asparagus, potatoes, gravy, and mushrooms) to get it all out at the same time while Teagan is standing up in her booster seat wanting me to come get her...

This is what Teagan does in the car.... She sings, sometimes trying to sing louder than the car radio. She saw me videotaping so then she got shy.
