Lily and Christmas in Amarillo.

We had a great time hanging out with Mo in Amarillo. Lily and mommy got there a couple days before dad and had great girl time. Lily has taken to Mo like nothing I could have ever imagined. I am so happy about that. I am always afraid with my mom being so far away that Lily will not know her and now when we see her Lily even recognizes her and goes straight to her. This little girl got so much for Christmas it was almost unbelieveable. I was so afraid that we were going to have to rent a UHAUL to get us back home. She may be a little small for some of the fun things, but it is only a matter of time before she is up and going on all of them.

Lily went to her first art show in Amarillo. She was a hit, but I was stressed out watching her and keeping her away from all of the wonderful pottery. She did not understand why it was that she could not touch everything.

She got a little rocking horse from her Mo and is starting to learn that you bounce up and down on it. Anyways, it is the cutest thing to see her get on there and pull his ears. We have not yet come up with a name for our new horse, so I am taking suggestions.

This picture here amazes me. She looks so much like her mommy's brother it is scary. Not how he looks today, but when he was younger.

Poor Lily was all stuffed in the car for the ride home. I think it took us about 11 hours to get home. She was such a trooper, only really fussed when we got to The Woodlands. I know she was so tired and so tired of sitting in her car seat. She did love watching the same videos over and over and over and over and over and over again. Mike and I will never know what the videos look like, but we can sing every word. All in all we had a wonderful time and can't wait for the year ahead. McF

Lily's School Christmas Party!

We went to Lily's Christmas party at daycare. It was so much fun to watch all the little ones walk around and get into everything. Lily tried to open everyone's books and tried to eat all of them. We had all kinds of yummy foods, and the kids seemed to have a good time. Here is Lily reading her book, give her a second with a book and she will then eat it.

Lily and her favorite person in the world, Ms. Salma or I call her Aunt Salma.

Lily and Caleb off getting into trouble together.

Eating her lunch. I made little tortilla wraps and all the kids loved them. Well they ate them, so does that mean that they loved them?

Here is Ms. Pam with her kids.

Playdate with Baylee!

Lily and I went to my friend Amber's house for a sleepover/playdate on Saturday night. Her daughter (Baylee) is exactly 2 months older than Lily. We had so much fun with
the girls. They were not real sure what to do together. But, they played well and even shared toys. The night time was the bad part. We would get one to sleep and the other would wake up. So I am not sure if we are ready for another child at night. ha

It was fun for Lily's first sleepover. She is such a busy little girl. Trying to get into everything she can reach. All in all we had a great time.

Now we are packing and getting ready to head to Amarillo this Friday. I don't think a visit to Santa is going to be on our agenda while in Amarillo with Mo. But, I do know that we have a lot planned for Lily. I can't wait for Santa to come and visit. So I will post more maybe this week, but for sure after Christmas. Much Love, McF

Lily and Santa----OH NO!!

This was taken at daycare. Poor little Lily really does not like any Santa even if it is one of her teachers.

Lily and Santa

Well we went to "cookies with Santa" this morning. I am ready to start doing fun things like this with Lily. I think she deserves to get to do everything. So off we went. Well the first person we encounter is Santa himself. Needless to say, Lily Fryar hated Santa. She thought he was the scariest man in the world. So she did not get time to tell him what she wanted.

Things were a little better when mom and dad were both with this scary man.

Mom ate Santa's cookies and Lily was upset about that.

Lily was not interested in looking in the Christmas presents. Our neighbor Katherine was very interested in them.

So does this mean we don't have to get her anything for Christmas?
