we saw santa!

we dressed haley up & took her to sit on santa's lap last week.  she did really well, but would not look at the camera, so we had to make the photographer move.  we got a few great photos of her with santa & of us as a family.  i will share them later, though.  ;-) 

we had a low key thanksgiving, here at the house.  our friend jeff came over and we ate steak rolls.  they were good, but i accidentally burned the tar out of them, so they were a little overdone.  so, just had to add more gravy!  and i also made trey's favorite pumpkin roll....mmmm... 

since thanksgiving we have been busy with car stuff.  we bought my former boss's car and put trey's car on craig's list.  so, we met with a potential buyer, made a deal and then had to sit at the DMV to transfer title, register, pay taxes, etc.  but, it's all taken care of, and he is now driving a fully loaded '07 suv instead of  his 1995 chevy blazer!

haley is getting better at bath time, and it always calms her down for several hours.  it's great do before bedtime & i got a cute pic of her all bundled up after a bath.

also, the temperature has dropped to 30-50 so we are using her big hat & mittens more often.  i think she looks like pippy longstocking with the hat on!

eating has been a challenge for her the past few weeks, and the last few days have gotten even worse.  but we are working thru it and i will talk to her pediatrician at her next appt on dec 1.

haley & i will fly to houston on dec 2 for a month to hang out with our families!  we are so excited to go but will miss daddy big time!  he will join us for christmas, so we'll be without him for 3 weeks!  but i'm sure the time will go quickly. 

all decked out in pink & ready to go out

content & bundled in towels after a warm bath. anyone else think she looks like an egyptian pharaoh?
