Christmas

We went to Bass Pro Shop to see Santa. Raven was really excited and loved seeing Santa, until it came to sitting in his lap, then she wasn't so happy.

Raven loved helping decorate the tree and putting the star on top.

 

Singing songs at Mikel's family Christmas Eve party.

Holding her Santa present tight so she doesn't lose it.

Christmas morning fun. Santa brought her a tricycle and Raven threw the helmet on and jumped on it first thing.

Checking out some stocking stuffers.

Drinking the juice Santa left her and acting like a baby.

My favorite picture on Christmas morning. Check out her goofy facial expression.

Santa brought a huge lollipop.

Christmas breakfast, at least she ate the bacon.

Mikel made a wonderful Turkey, all by himself!

Family fun at the church. Eating is half the fun!

Raven's Birthday

Family birthday party for Raven and Halle.

Paw-paw helping Raven eat her ice cream.

Raven got lots of nice presents, thanks to everyone!

Raven did like her Barbie, she was just sad we took her pillow pet away.

Halle in the rear view spy sunglasses we gave her.

On Raven's actual birthday we went to the park with Amy and the boys.

Mimi brought some balloons over.

We got her a new big girl bed, here it is without the drawers.

Camping

Raven had a great second camp out. As Mikel kept pointing out, it would have been perfect if it was 10 degrees warmer that weekend. We still had fun though, and Raven loved to be a helper with everything from gathering wood to cooking.
