I stole this idea from Rossette but I was just looking through my pictures on the computer and happened to open up this folder of the pictures I took for last year's Christmas card. What a difference a year makes. Our little girl is growing up so fast and she is SO much fun. We have loved watching her grow, her personality developing, the talking and talking and talking!! Anna Grace is a delight and as you can see, she still loves her bubby.

Anna's Snowman one day later...

As promised, here is a picture of Anna's snowman just one day later. How sad is this!! I don't know if you can see in the picture but the carrot nose and raisins for the mouth are on the ground as well as his hat.

Making a Snowman

We wanted to get outside before all the snow melted due to warmer temperatures and rain on the way (YUK). Anna and daddy had so much fun. Daddy also taught Anna how to make and throw snowballs. I got some good video and will post that tomorrow. These pictures were taken yesterday (Saturday) and when we woke up today, the snowman's head had fallen off, along with one one of his arms. Very sad day for the snowman. I'll post a picture of the headless snowman tomorrow.

The Henry Ford Museum

We took Anna Grace to The Henry Ford last weekend and she had a great time. They have big trains that she could sit on and they had a couple different displays with model trains going around different tracks and one of the trains she was able to turn off and on. As you can see from the pictures, she enjoyed herself. Towards the end of our day, and after our lunch, they had a big table where kids could make Christmas crafts. This is Anna's Princess Christmas Crown.

Anna's Choo Choo Train

As I've mentioned before, Anna LOVES her train that daddy made for her and she LOVES to decorate it. Tonight was painting night.

Pictures That Didn't Make The Christmas Card

The picture in the middle Anna Grace is holding her beloved "bubby". The last picture is quite solemn and I believe she is probably saying to herself "if my mommy asks me to smile one more time..."

I thought I would share some of the pictures that didn't make the Christmas card this year. It was a lot of work to get a couple good pictures of Anna Grace. Needless to say, I was sweating and frustrated but these next few pictures are pretty cute. She can be a little ham when she wants to.

Merry Christmas!! Note to Annalee: Anna is holding the cute little toy you sent her. She loves it!!

Anna's Express

This is what happens when you can't play outside because it is too cold. Daddy gets creative and makes a train out of Mommy's Southern Living boxes from the party she had. It has wheels, windows, doors, and duct tape!! This is her new favorite toy.
