"I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas..."

After we finally got there safely, we were all excited about the white Christmas in Abilene:) The last one was the year Lance and I got a trampoline...haha! Callie had a fun time with her presents (and other people's presents!) and all of the family she got to see.

Brrrrrr!

The Hay Fam is getting bigger and bigger!

Uncle Tony's tobogan entertained us for awhile.

Crazy girl stayed up way too late and had way too much fun!

Gigi's tree has so many lights!!!

scratch-offs are a Christmas tradition...we didn't fare so well this year though

We had a wonderful Christmas filled with family that is so precious to us. It is hard to believe there are only a few days left of 2009. It has been our best year yet, so I am kind of sad to see it go.

Second First Birthday Party!

This is Callie on the morning of her birthday...hilarious:)

We had her second party on Saturday for friends (and a few family members too)! Her cakes were delicious!

As people arrived, Callie sat in her new chair and waved to everyone. She looked like a little queen as she sat on her throne and waved.

Again, Callie was only interested in paper and tags, so I opened all of her wonderful gifts.

Her cake was a little too sweet for her tastes, so she didn't eat much.

I think this is such a sweet picture of her playing with the Big Boys:) They were very patient with her.

This is what happened when we tried to get a picture of them! They all got upset except for Perry who is just reading a book:)

My sweet baby

She loves her Uncle Chris:) Don't worry, she enjoys her Aunt Kylee too!

BIG girl!!!

I actually think she looks a little like my baby pictures in this one...finally! Most of the time, I don't think she looks like either one of us.

Now we are on to Christmas...Hopefully, we can all take a few deep breaths between now and then!

Callie's first FIRST Birthday Party

We had a fun family party for Callie at my parents' house over the Thanksgiving Break. She had such a wonderful time! She didn't really know what to think about her gifts, so I had to do all of the opening.

Birdie's Big Girl Shoes is a gift from her shoe-loving Aunt Krisitn!

She finally got her OWN remote!

Who is MORE excited about this Romo jersey?! Hehe!

Callie got off to a slow start on the cake...

...but she quickly made up for it:)

Our little family of 3!

In attendance: Gigi and Pops, Grandma and Grandpa Hay, Uncle Lance and Aunt Kristin, Uncle Tony, Uncle Jeff, Nannie Grace and Papaw Jim, and Great Aunt Charlene and Great Uncle Maurice

Thanks Gigi and Pops for a SUPER party:)
