Last Sunday afternoon I took Millie sledding for the first time. She really liked it a lot! We went with our friends Kari and Madison. Millie ended up with quite a bit of snow in her face and snow between her coat and mittens but she didn't seem to mind. She kept wanting to go again and again. I was even brave enough to let her go alone with Madison. But then I had to run down the hill after them so I could help walk (or should I say pull) Millie back to the top of the hill again. This was the hardest part. Getting not only myself, but a heavy Millie in all her layers back up the hill. It would be nice to go again. Maybe when the temperatures reach 30 degrees.
We have TONS of snow outside. It was a good thing we went out and had some fun in it right away because the temps have been -7 plus nasty windchill's in the - teens for days now. I can't believe that 30 degrees is sounding really warm about now. Millie loves to talk about what we have done outside in the snow. 1- Had a snowball fight with Papa. 2- Made snow angels 3- Made a snowman (it was super pathetic. See photo below) 4- Went sledding with Madison and Kari. She enjoys the snow immensely.
Heading to the backyard to go down her slide. She loved that!
Can't quite remember to get on her back to make snow angels. We even practiced on the carpet before heading out in the snow.
This snow man is only a foot high. He is actually in our planter. His eyes and nose are berries from our holly bush.
This is dinner on Christmas Eve. Millie was so excited to go and see the lights that evening and finally Christmas was less than 24 hours away, she was tuckered out. She fell asleep after only a few bites.
In our last post it took hours and hours to download the video so I am going back to my You Tube account to add a few more videos from Christmas. Click on this link to view: http://www.youtube.com/user/suezq812
Christmas with Millie was a blast this year. She enjoyed all the activities. She helped put many ornaments on the tree (they all ended up in the same spot right in the front, but it was so cute!) She got to visit with Santa twice. Once at the mall and once at the Pegasus Farm Christmas party. She talked more to the Santa at the mall. There were too many people watching at the party. We went to see lots of lights on Christmas Eve. She really enjoyed that a lot. We will be doing that every year. She loved making ornaments so much. I think Millie added to the ornament collection at least 15-20 ornaments herself. She seemed to make an ornament everywhere she went. We made a ton at home. She was still asking to make ornaments 4 days after Christmas, so this motivated me to get the tree down. I didn't want to make any more ornaments. Millie had a great time dressing up in all her new costumes on Christmas morning. She took hours to open her gifts. After unwrapping each one she wanted us to take the toy out of the packaging and play with it for a while. This was lots of fun. She learned a bunch of new songs this season too. Frosty the Snowman,(by far her favorite. She got to stay up late one night and watch the Frosty special on T.V.) Rudolph, Jingle Bells and Away in a Manger.

The new Barbie dolls, including a mermaid Barbie for the bath from Aunt Jane and Uncle Ron.
A cheerleader, fairy, princess with heels. She wanted to try it all on at once.
Cinderella. Her favorite princess.
The new dollhouse. Totally Awesome!
Playing with the dollhouse as soon as she spotted it!
