Around here we pretty much spend the end of December celebrating! Parties started on the 19th at school then we kicked off M's b-day! SO hang on...it's a GI-NORMOUS post today!
Maggie's B-day 12/20
We started off her b-day at the dentist office. She had her 1st official visit today! She did great and was so good...I am sorry to say that my battery was dead in the camera, so no pictures of our little girl growing up. Daddy had to work, so we had a yummy dinner when he got home.

A b-day dinner of chocolate milk, steak, mac-n-cheese and corn a few of her favorites

Modeling her new out fit that says "A is for Awesome" so perfect for her, because she thinks

What's this about a Hawaii trip? OK, I'm jealous! We went to Kauai on our honeymoon and vow to go back. I'll be glad to pray for snow for you even though it will not get the city schools out! Have a Happy New Year!
