Should I grow my bangs out?

Thanks Uncle Peter for this cool fort.

Christmas in Forest City

We arrived in Forest City on Monday, 12/27 for a week of family fun, another Christmas and time to relax.  

To Adley

Love, GrandMary

A wooden stacker from Uncle Peter - Cana's favorite.

"Let's see, the paper goes over there..."

A new hat from Uncle Noah and Aunt Wendy

Say Ahhhhh!

Princess puzzles from Auntie Anna and Almost Uncle Josh

(and matching pajamas too!)

What is it Cana?

A pretty quilt made by GrandMary!

Christmas At Home

A Cindarella polly pocket doll in Adley's stocking.


"Awww, she's so cute!"

(this is one of my favorite Adley faces - because its so real)

Daddy bought Cana a new hair brush and she already knows how to use it.

Adley enjoying opening presents.

(the Toy Story bandaids were in her stocking and put to use right away)

Cana enjoying ripping open the wrapping paper.

Matching dresses from Mommy and Daddy.

(for the spring)

A "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" pez set from Grammie and Paka.

A farm house from Shawn and Wendy...

...with a little (unsolicited) help from sister.

"Jessie and Buzz"

(the second thing she was hoping for for Christmas)

Cana's favorite present thus far - the seahorse that plays music and has a nightlight for falling asleep.  

She clutches it dearly.  I love this photo in part because Cana is so cozy in her bathrobe and slippers and holding a new favorite toy.  Also, because the look on her face is content and yet tired - we all were.

What's this?  

One more present?

Daddy found this big bag downstairs.

What could it be?

"A Pillow Pet Unicorn!

Just what I always wanted!"
