Making Cookies for Santa

This year I thought it would be cool this year to let Paige help me make cookies for Santa.
Bill thinks I am crazy... but it was fun!!

Mommy is ready to start baking!

Paige helping mommy pour the flour....

now the baking soda....

sugar time...

and this is where the pictures stopped.... Mommy landed up finishing making the cookies by herself while daddy and paigey played!


Visiting Santa!

Paige was very excited to see Santa this year.... or at least she thought she was!!
We went to Bass Pro Shop again, like we do every year!
Here are a few pictures of Paige & cousins with Santa....

She was ready to rock in roll in her pretty dress!

She had been crying so much that she would only do a cousin picture and she had to stand!

Paige's turn.... the tears and screaming was too much

I did a lot of bribing... and.....

this was her 2012 Christmas Picture!!!
Great job Paige!!!

Meet FRED!


This year Paige was very excited to receive her very own Elf! She was very excited about him. I wasn't sure if she was going to understand the concept of the Elf, but surprisingly she did!! Every morning she was very excited and anxious to go find where Fred had landed each morning. Paige did a great job not touching him! She understood real quick that his Magic would go away if she touched it. Nina Laurie bought her the movie... Thanks Nina... I think the movie really helped her to have a better understanding of  Fred!! I tried to make sure I took a picture every morning where we found him. I think I am missing a few days. 
We hope you enjoyed seeing where Fred landed!!

Paige was so excited the first morning when she saw Fred eating her FAVORITE cereal... Trix for Kids

She thought this was so cool! What a BIG girl she has become!

Fred watched down from the shelf above the TV. 

Fred visited Grandma Cindy's Christmas Tree

Fred took a trip around the fan

Fred LOVES books, just as much as Paige
He had a blast looking at her 1st Year Album!

Fred knows Paige loves pushing her baby dolls around, maybe he wanted a ride!

Fred Peeking out of Santa's Boots!

Ut-Oh Fred got into the Box of Tissues!

Fred showing Paige that Potty Training is fun!

I think  Fred wanted to get a cookie out of the Cookie Jar
Sorry Fred.. there are no cookies in there... that's just for decoration.

Fred was excited that Christmas was approaching very rapidly.. maybe he thought those were real presents

Fred wanted to pick the tones while we got ready in the morning

Looks like Fred wanted to watch Christmas Vacation... A classic movie!

Ut-Oh Fred was playing on the Formal Dinning Table
I don't think he knows we are not suppose to play in that room....

Whaaaoooo..... Hanging upside down from the Grandfather Clock... He must me dizzy

Is Fred Hungry??

Fred got into the Marshmallow Bag... He's silly

Sitting in the tree watching what's going on the Daly Household


Fred loved Paige's Christmas Pictures so he made sure to pay those pictures a stop!

On Christmas Eve, Paige woke up to Fred in her stocking with a note..

She was very excited that she wanted Daddy to open it and read it to her...

So happy to show mommy

She loved the Letter

The note stated that Fred's visit was over for now, but he can't wait to see her next year!

Until Next Year Fred!!! We Loved having you around!!
