FRIENDS

Over the Christmas holiday, Manze, Richard, Wes, and Emma (all friends and go to Ms. Beth's together) got together to eat at Chick-fil-a and go to Pump it Up! Well, when we got to Pump it Up (10 minutes after it opened), they had already met capacity and we were turned away! Bummed, we left to go home! Michelle (Richard's mom) saved the day and invited everyone over to their house to play! They had so much fun and it was hilarious to see everyone get very territorial over their toys! An hour later it was nap time and off we went! The next day we were in line at Pump it Up 20 minutes before it opened! We got in! WAHOO!! (Thanks Cindy, I stole this collage from your page)!

Christmas Day 2007

I am FINALLY posting about Christmas...better late than never! I was really lazy (or just out of time) and made a bunch of collages! Click on them to make them bigger and you can see the pictures better! Manze had so much fun and so did we just watching her this Christmas! Santa gave her a kitchen and a bunch of stuff for her baby doll! Now she picks up her kitchen phone and calls Santa to thank him! She loves to cook in her new kitchen and is constatnly "cooking" us food! You can see in the collage that she likes to eat on her little counter area! A good time was had by all!

Christmas Eve 2007

Manze had a BLAST this year and LOVED opening up presents! Here are a few pictures of her on Christmas Eve at my parents house!

New Christmas Pajamas

It is a tradition that we get new pajamas on Christmas Eve to wear to bed. Here is Manze getting her hair blow dried by Mimi and modeling her new Christmas pajamas!

Almost "night night time"

Here is Manze before bedtime reading with my brother and (boy does she have him whipped) and playing with a few toys (trying to procrastinate bedtime)!

Twas the Night Before Christmas!

It is a tradition that we read the book Twas the Night Before Christmas on Christmas Eve. Here we are with Manze in her new pajamas reading the story at my parent's house (in my old room) before bed!

Visiting the City of Lights

Tommy and I took Manze to Canton to see the lights and ride some rides right before Christmas! Of course, we waited until the weather was freezing again to go! We didn't stay as long as we wanted because it was FREEZING!!!!

*Chrismas pics to come soon (to my 3 friends that read my blog, ha, ha)

Crying in her picture with Mommy...Daddy thought that was hilarious since she was hamming it up in the picture with him!
