Morgan's Thoughts

Tonight we treated the kids to some Christmas light-seeing. Morgan was so excited that she was able to wear her jammies and no shoes. About 10 minutes into the drive she started asking for her TV, to which I told her, "No, we're listening to Christmas music." Then she started asking, "Are we going home?" or "Where are we going?" and back to wanting her TV on. It was quite an exciting outing for her. Once we returned home and walked into the kitchen, this is what I hear:

Jamie: "Morgan, wasn't that fun?"

Morgan: "It was kind of boring."

------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few minutes later she was looking in the fridge and decided she wanted a jello fruit cup. I asked her if she could reach it....her reply:

"Of course I can!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
While eyeing her presents under the tree, she asks me:

"Is there a snuggie in there for me?"

December Snow

We woke up to snow this morning and Morgan was dying to get her hands in it. So when we got home after breakfast, she insisted on going out even though she didn't have all the proper attire and it was melting! There wasn't a lot to begin with, but it really did cover the grass early this AM.

Breakfast w/Santa

Applebee's had Breakfast w/Santa this morning and you wouldn't know how enthusiastic Morgan was to see Santa from this picture! She was thrilled until we got there and then she refused to sit on Santa's lap or talk to him...so he made ME have a sit down. Poor guy! I told them that we've learned to be more flexible with Morgan - crying or smiling we take the picture anyway!

Mmm, bigger appetite!

Morgan has actually been telling me she's hungry lately and surprising me by how much she will put down. I made homemade chicken noodle soup the other night and she ate two small bowls of the noodles! I think we're going through another growth spurt!

Santa at the Garden

Santa visited the Botanical Gardens for the walk through nights of the Galaxy of Lights. These were taken with the mobile, so they're not real clear, but it's better than nothing! Morgan went running to him and sat on his lap and even told him what she wanted for Christmas. We promised the boys they wouldn't have to participate this year.

But Santa wouldn't have it any other way! Kolton was walking out the door and Santa kept waving for him to come back! So the boys obliged...hahahaha!

All Worn Out

We've been home-bound so long that just going to the gym this morning tuckered Morgan out! We got home and she asked if she could sleep on the couch...poor girl.

Craziness

This is what happens when we're not looking...

My Name, My Name!

My best friend Name (aka: Renee') flew in on Friday for a long visit. We played Super Mario Brothers (the original NES game) on the Wii, Hand & Foot, Rummikub, and Guesstures while she was here. Sunday wasn't so fun, I ended up pretty much bed-ridden with a migraine - but it was AWESOME just having her here. It was so natural with her here, so we're hoping she'll come back again - soon. It's a shame this was the only picture that was taken during the visit...but oh well. At least we got this one! I was sad to see her go, but she did have her life to get back to. I will try not to be selfish of her! Morgan just loves her Aunt Name!

Pumpkin Carving

Jamie helped the kids carve pumpkins while I was out to coffee & shopping with a friend. I think they did a fantastic job!
