Well, Thanksgiving's come and gone, so I guess I'll move on to Christmas.
I surprised Nora today with a Christmas tree. We'd been saying we weren't getting one since we'll be in Texas for Christmas, but we couldn't stand it any longer. This is her waking up from a nap to see a Christmas tree waiting for her to demolish with tacky lights and ornaments... she didn't disappoint.
When she's in charge, three ornaments end up on one stem. To each his own. . .
Later we wrapped gifts and she wanted to wrap daddy a gift for him to open when he got home. We pulled something down from the wall and she wrapped it all by herself.
Here she is showing off her wrap job. Sorry about the outfit...we're picking out what we want to wear these days. Only a two year old can make yellow, pink, orange and black look cute.
Daddy opened the present when he got home and was so thrilled to receive a stuffed owl make out of a paper bag. Just what he always wanted! (notice the headband)
Of course, each photo op has to contain and goofy face picture. Here you go:
It seems the theme on my blog lately is Nora's obsession with makeup. I'm not obsessed with makeup. I barely wear it, so I'm really not sure where this started. I literally have to hide in the closet and put my makeup on so she won't bug me to death. "I want some, I want some". SO, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. I went out and for $3 purchased her very own, very tacky kids makeup. Turns out the jokes on me.
Here we are sporting our makeovers and new hairstyles. I think I counted 14 clips in my hair.
Nora and I were able to talk a little while putting up the tree about Jesus's birthday. We talked about Joseph and Mary, and the anticipation of the people for the son of God to be born. Although Nora's only 2, I believe she's old enough to retain what this holiday is about and how exciting it is to celebrate the birth of the son who would give us eternal life!

SWEET! The funny faces for the camera makes me think of Aunt Tammie....doesn't she seem to make faces!? Lynn (can't remember that blogger id stuff)
You're a fun momma.
I like Kevin's beard...you're on your own.
Love the pic of you and Nora forehead to forehead! You are fun!! Makes me want to take more one on one time with Faith (and Eli).
Merry Christmas!!
She is so cute...how fun!!!
And she's retaining it because her parents teach her and live out what matters...love you guys.
#1. I love the tree
#2. I love that she picks out her own outfits.
#3. I think it's hilarious that she is wearing that headband. Brayden wears his all the time. Tonight, he and Bryce were both wearing taboggans (sp??) that Kristi made them. They looked hilarious.
#4. I love that she wrapped her daddy a present.
#5. The picture of y'all with your makeover is super cute.
I think I'm done, but I am glad you updated. I can't wait to see y'all over the holidays. I rocked Brayden tonight to Nora Blue song (b/c he was sad from a boo boo). :)
That's what blogging is all about. Thanks for sharing the sweetness and joy. And by the way, I wear about as much (little) makeup as you do, and Mer is obsessed too. Today she packed a purse with some "extra makeup, just in case." Lawsy.
that's so awesome you guys got a tree...some of my favorite memories growing up were decorating the tree while watching christmas eve on sesame street.
i'm so proud of you guys teaching nora early and often about the love of God.
