Unicorn

Bailey has consistently asked for two things for Christmas a swimming puppy and a unicorn. Since we can't really get her a real unicorn there is unicorn at Build a Bear you can make that she has been begging us to let her make. A gift card to Build a Bear magically appeared in her Christmas stocking and she finally got to build her first bear or in this case a unicorn.

She's ready to go; picked out her unicorn and a heart for her

After careful thought she decided to name her unicorn, Unicorn

Bailey's new ride

Bailey has officially traded her little Dora go kart for a big girl scooter. We've already had to charge it again since Christmas morning, she makes laps all day long through the living room and around the kitchen and back. Eventually it will be just an outside toy but for now she's having too much fun with it inside learning out to make tight turns and figuring out how to use the reverse without backing into anything. Here's a couple of pics of the one time she took it out for a ride.

Christmas Day

For being so excited for Christmas morning to come Bailey slept till 8 but wasted no time getting us to go down stairs and see if Santa had come. She was so excited she got her swimming puppy and loved her new scooter. I would say Bailey made out with more than enough toys to entertain her for quite some time. She ended up with 6 new games that we've played over and over again since Christmas, a new big girl kitchen, a baby center, dress up clothes, and a bunch of other toys; everything a 3 year old could need!

Hurley & Brodi Christmas

We couldn't leave out Hurley & Brody on Christmas. They both got doggie ice cream, a stuffed animal, and large candy cane bones. Although the ice cream and the stuffed animals are no longer they have hardly put a dent in their bones.

Christmas Eve

Bailey was so excited all day on Christmas Eve and tracked Santa all over the world all day long. After a Christmas Eve service we came home and Bailey got to open her two traditional Christmas Eve presents. Bailey laid out the cookies and milk for Santa, read every Christmas book she could find and fell right to sleep with not a problem, anticipating the morning to come.

Another Showing of Disney on Ice

Living in CA were so lucky to be so close to so many fun shows and activities to entertain Bailey as well as ourselves. There was another Disney on Ice that had Tinkerbell with all the other fairies, Ariel, and the cast from the Cars so how could be not go see it when it had two of Bailey's favorite characters.

Christmas Parties & Festivities

This seemed to be a very busy month. There was so much going on and although we did a lot there was still so much we couldv'e done. There was Jeremy's work Christmas party, Holiday Train, many Santa's to visit( I think Bailey saw five altogether), party and gift exchange with friends, reindeers, and even snow to play on.

Big Sister To Be

Bailey's officially going to finally be a big sister. She's been asking for a baby brother or baby sister for quite some time and her wish is finally going to come true. The expected date is July 8th so that puts us at 6 months to go. Jeremy of course wants a boy but we would still be more than happy with a girl; how can we go wrong with another Bailey anyways. Bailey is convinced she's getting a baby sister so I guess only time will tell....
