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
