Smile for the camera!
A little late, but I
just wanted an excuse to post these pictures.
We went to a friend's home for Thanksgiving, and she found the mirror. She was being way too cute to not display the pictures on the blog
I've also found that she smiles the most when she is running, jumping or doing gymnastic activity. That makes it so difficult to photograph her smiling!
If we ask her to smile, it usually looks like this
Hmmmmm.Ya think it's a family trait?
Then, there are many other times when she's so intrigued with something else, that she completely ignores my calls of attention for the camera. These pictures definitely tell that story.
But every once in a while, when she's genuinely happy, without being active, we get one of these shots for the camera, and I realize how stunningly beautiful my daughter truly is.

Oh Christmas tree..ohhhh Christmas tree....
We finally did it, and
we have Cady to blame for it. We bought a Christmas
tree this year. Scott and I have been married for 4
years now, and although we both enjoy this time of
year, and we both celebrate Christmas, we have not
had a Christmas tree. Every year, I say we're going
to get a boxed tree in January, because they are less
expensive then. And somehow we just never have.
But this year was different. We bought one, BEFORE January, and paid full price for it too.
Cady loves, loves, LOVES the tree. She wanted to be right in the middle of it all when Scott was putting it together.
Love that intense stare!
She also helped with the ornaments. When she put the ice cycles on, she twisted them to get a more shiny effect. That's my girl. She loves the look of bling bling, even if it's only on a tree.
But what did she like the most about trimming the tree? Yep, the bubble wrap that came with the box.
Yanno, this could make for a very inexpensive Christmas if we just go the cardboard box and bubble wrap route!
