Christmas Time

This weekend Mimi and Poppa came to Baton Rouge to shop and see Natalie. Friday we went to the Santastic at the Mall of Louisiana. Natalie was very excited...until we got in line and she claimed that she was "just a little scared", but she did fine when she got in Santa's lap and told him everything she wants for Christmas.

She looked adorable in her Christmas tutu! Between Jami and I, someone should have pictures up soon.

Natalie's Christmas List:

• Dora Bike
• Little Einstein Ballerina (June)
• A Baby that does not cry

I found it hilarious that she wanted a baby doll that DOES NOT CRY! When Cari had her baby for school Natalie would say that she did not want to hear it cry so I guess she wanted to make sure she did not receive a baby like that! Cute huh!

We also went to Build-A-Bear and Natalie created a Panda Bear. She fell in love with her bear before it even 'came to life' or 'got stuffed'. She is so loving and nurturing to her baby dolls/stuffed animals. And it is the cutest thing ever.

Overall we had a great weekend and we are looking forward to our "First Christmas as a Family"..you know what we mean! We will have our Christmas very early, on Monday--the 22nd. Since Natalie came along, we have always had Christmas with Cameron's family the 23rd, his extended family the 24th, and Christmas with my family the 25th, then to my extended family sometime after.

I promise to post pictures of our little bitty Christmas tree :]

Merry Christmas!
