Christmas Eve

So, all our plans for Christmas Eve went out the window with the Oklahoma Blizzard of 2009. It was snowing so hard and the wind was pretty fierce. After it was all over, OKC saw 14.1" of snow! Worst. Snowstorm. In Oklahoma. EVER!
All the churches cancelled their Christmas Eve services, so we all stayed snuggly inside.
But that didn't mean Madelyn didn't wear her Christmas Eve dress. We had a fun little mini-fashion show! She huffed and puffed because she'd been in her pj's all day, but once the dress went on, she was workin' it for the camera like a supermodel!



Check out all of the snow in the window...


My favorite, by far!

As is tradition in our house, we open one gift on Christmas Eve. Here's Madelyn in action...

Pre-Christmas Eve

Yummy mexican dinner at Auntie Em & Uncle Outlaw's. If you didn't know, Madelyn's middle name was almost "Queso." Sort of kidding...

We opened a few presents, too.

An OU hat from Grandma D.

And, one of her favorite Christmas gifts, a phone. She's still practicing saying, "Hello!"

Scrolling through her rolodex.

Time flies and so do little girls

The days have zipped right along here.

Madelyn helped decorate for Christmas.She also went flying and hit her teeth on our headboard. There's even a mark left on the headboard! She cried and cried a lot. But didn't bleed nor lose any teeth. We may have lucked out on this little accident. Fingers-crossed that it doesn't become infected.

Madelyn had her last music class for the semester...

Even Mommy & Daddy enjoyed a night away for a company Christmas party in downtown!
And a big congratulations to Daddy for passing his Professional Engineering Exam! Woohoo!!
