I call this “Cindy Lou Who” hair (you know??- Cindy Lou from Whoville – Dr. Seuss).?? Mom calls it “The Fountain”.?? :)?? It curls quite nicely actually.?? If I don’t curl it, it stands STRAIGHT up.?? I thought her FIRST Christmas dress needed to be painted.?? I really love full composite paintings but they aren’t for “every” painting.?? You have to have just the right picture and just the right background to pull off a nice composite (IMHO) and that takes some think time.?? I do like to embellish though.?? The original picture was taken on my wood floor in front of my green wall but I darkened the floor and embellished the wall a bit.?? Here is a closer view:<\/p>\n

Technically, she had two Christmas dresses.?? The red pettiskirt and black velvet top and then this green one.?? She looked fabulous in both if I do say so myself.?? :)?? And would you believe I already bought NEXT years Christmas dress!?? In December I was shopping with my mom and found a G O R G E O U S dress at Dillards.?? It was a long red velvet dress with a matching long red velvet overcoat.?? I wanted to buy it for Tori so bad.?? HOWEVER, both pieces were about $80.00 and I couldn’t justify $160.00 on her Christmas dress especially after buying her pettiskirt.????I asked Cat to keep an eye on it for me and was hoping I would get a smoking after Christmas sale.?? Sure enough -on Dec 26th there was a one day only sale, Cat saw it and bought BOTH pieces for $40.00!?? Woohooo!?? Sweetie was as excited as I was!?? Some things you just NEED (hee hee – and yes Dad I listened to your sermon Sunday – this is a hyperbole) you know?<\/p>\n

Last night Cindy Lou’s coughing was better.?? I still don’t think this is allergies we are dealing with.?? She has been a handful this week with getting in to stuff.?? I had a freak out while??on the phone with Brooke due to a Tori minor emergency – I’ll share that picture another day.?? She just gets into everything.?? The worst is when someone leaves the bathroom door open and she rifles through the trash or plays in the toilet and boys NEVER close the lids NEVER NEVER NEVER.?? We tried a toilet latch but turns out I was childproofed out of my own potty so we had to take them off.?? :)?? Besides that, she can’t lift the lid so what is the point of the latch??? You have to close the lid and the latch and if ANYONE would ever close a lid in the first place we wouldn’t have a problem.?? Not forward thinking on my part when we purchased the latch in the first place.<\/p>\n

Another thing I did not consider until late in the season was the issue of a Christmas tree and a mobile baby.?? When Tanner was 8 months at Christmas, he was good as gold.?? Never even occured to me to protect the tree because he never got in to stuff.?? When Ty was almost a year at Christmas, he still wasn’t mobile at all – not even crawling so again no concern.?? Just before I started decorating it occured to me that I was going to have a big problem.<\/p>\n

She undecorated for me several times.?? Isn’t she a sweetie??? LOL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
