Christmas Season 2007

Probably Dad and Mom (that's me!) were more excited for Royanne's
first holiday than she was. We shopped for a Santa Suit.
Every time we went somewhere and the weather was the
least bit cool,
that's what she got to wear. (More of that accommodation that she's so good at!)





She was a big hit one day when we went to the mall. A lot of people were surprised - and then embarrassed - when we said we were not the grandparents. So far it is still slightly amusing when people think we are the grandparents.


I am sure one day it will become down right annoying!




Zzzzzzzooming through the mall, looking around and smiling.






Occasionally Ro indulged me and wore her hat at home.




One day she said she wanted to go to the mall and see this man they call Santa.




We stood in line and she was very patient.





She said, "This ain't so bad" and kicked back and
enjoyed the moment, smiling for the camera.





Then Santa began to tell her about the naughty and nice list.








She became confused about the rules and the fact some children received coal and she began to cry. She decided Santa was just too serious for such a little baby girl.





Mimi finds the neatest accessories!
(There are mittens to match!)






Daddy was feeling poorly after he threw out his back, so Royanne thought she'd give him a foot massage and possibly a quick lick. This could possibly ensure her a place on the "nice list".

It was also Bruce's birthday.

December 24, 2007 Christmas Eve


Mimi and Royanne.

Mimi had a super surprise! She made Abby and Royanne matching gowns and night hats, like from " Twas The Night Before Christmas "

Discussing ways to stay on the "nice list".




Abby loves to hold Royanne and Royanne loves to be held!



Christmas Morning


Mimi was up to her tricks again. The gift card said:
"A house for your baby doll."



Royanne was excited to have Great Grandma there with her on Christmas Morning.

Me and my baby doll.



The set included a hat, jacket and leggings. Paired with her red patent
leather shoes, what a styling baby!






Adorable monkey from Uncle Darrell & Aunt Tammy.




Reading about Olivia the Pig with Great Grandma.

I love the matching outfits from Twas the Night Before Christmas ~ the girls both looked adorable. What a sweet baby to give foot massages to Daddy...hopefully the foot licks didn't produce too many fuzzballs! : )
