Christmas Updates...

Here we go with a few Christmas time updates. As you know, Cantley is over the top excited about Santa coming. Our bedtime is still 8:30, but C doesn't actually fall asleep until after 10! We chalk it up to excitement! As I type, Cantley is playing Santa with daddy-can you say EXCITED!! We are finally out of school for the Christmas break and it couldn't have gotten here any faster! We were in need of a break! So, our Christmas week festivities always start with the Gosdin Christmas. We drove down early to Shreveport yesterday and did a little shopping. Two of our purchases for Cantley are at the bottom. One was necessity for tee ball season, the other, just because Mom and Dad couldn't say no! So, our Gosdin Christmas was fun as always. Cantley's cousin Nolan gave her some great gifts including an acrylic paint set (thanks Tina!). We may be painting in the garage with that, not on the new wood floors. I will let the pictures tell the rest of our Christmas updates...

Cantley wore a new dress to church last Sunday and had to pose for me.

She can't always remember to look at the camera!

Cantley's first experience at Build a Bear Workshop was back in '07 with her Godmother Penny. That is where we created Penelope (aka LMP) the lamb. Well, last night Cantley got to visit again and created Ariel the bunny rabbit. We couldn't pass up the outfit of her favorite Disney princess, guess who? Ariel! The wig has kept us cracking up!!!

Last but not least, new cleats! They are light pink and black Under Armor. No cheap cleats for daddy's girl, no way! Once she tried them on, there was no turning back. She wanted to wear them the rest of the night to show her Big John. I have to say, it was a proud moment for her daddy. A tearfully proud moment! Wait until you see what Daddy bought her for Christmas to go with her new cleats...

So, here are the updates. We will try to update after Santa visits.

Thanks to those who enjoy our blog. I love being able to keep family and friends involved in what is going on in our lives. I also enjoy being able to keep up with my friends and family in the same way and watching their kids and families grow. To those who may think we are silly for sharing so much, bah humbug! Life is for living, loving, and sharing...again, enjoy!
