Ice Cream and Pig Tails

Today Mary Margo had chocolate ice cream as a treat. I really wish I had a video of it because she was so funny. She would open her mouth as far as it would possibly go and then she would tense up all the muscles in her head and shake her head back and forth! She also patted her belly in between bites. This means "please" in baby sign language. She was hilarious!

Mary Margo also got her first set of pig tails today! I finally tried it after Ashley brought it up over lunch. Thanks Ashley. I love them. So now I am going to have to start buying double the hair bows! Girls are TOO MUCH FUN!!! I love it!

A little visit to colorado

Dusty and I slipped off to Telluride, Colorado to ski with some good friends for the weekend.  We had a wonderful time but we sure were ready to see Mary Margo when we got home.  We missed her tremendously and we look forward to taking her with us one day when she gets old enough to enjoy the snow as much as we do.

Mary Margo and Warren

Mary Margo spent her new year's with her good friend Warren.  They played and played together and then when it was time for Warren to go Mary Margo gave him lots and lots of hugs.  

How sweet!

Christmas time is So much FUN!

What a wonderful Christmas we had at the Hall house and at home in Gadsden with family and friends. Mary Margo was a good little girl and santa brought her all kinds of goodies.

From her grandparents, she got a cradle and highchair for her dolls. She has fed the doll and put her to sleep just about everyday since she received it!

We woke up Christmas morning in Auburn. Santa came and mommy had to pull Mary Margo and Daddy out of the bed. I can't help it. I am still like a little kid on Christmas. I woke up at 5:45 ready to open presents. I let them sleep till 6:30 and then I couldn't wait any longer. Mary Margo had to have a biscuit first, though. She had no clue that there were presents under the tree for her.

Santa brought a xylophone and a new doll. Mary Margo really likes her xylophone so much that we took it on the road and she played it for us in the car on the way home.

Notice the biscuit close beside her.

Have to take a biscuit break!

Once in Gadsden we opened presents there too. Mary Margo got a tea set, crayons, coloring books and lots of other cool stuff. But the best present of all was getting to play with Aunt Mandy for 4 whole days.

It's Christmas Time! Yippee!

We are having too much fun here enjoying the holiday season.   Mary Margo is loving it!  She helped us decorate by putting a few ornaments on the tree.  She doesn't quiet understand hanging the ornaments.  She just made two piles in the tree for her ornaments.  

Mary Margo loves to look at the tree and when it is not on she points at it until we turn it on.  I left her in the living room one day and when I went back to check on her she was trying to carry her chair to the tree.  I helped her a little and then she went and got her baby doll and sat down at the tree.  She then started pointing  at the tree and then to her doll.  She was jabbering the whole time to the tree and then her baby.  It was like she was telling her baby about the tree and what it was all about.  It was so cute!  We have gotten so much joy watching her take all the magic of Christmas into her cute little head.  

I wear my sunglasses .....

So, Mary Margo found her shades this weekend and she thinks, I mean she knows, how cute she looks.
