The countdown

Starting after Christmas, Madison asked us almost every single day if it was time to go to Disney World. So I made a countdown for her and almost every night we crossed off a day (we forgot some nights and had to catch up). On the night of the 19th we crossed off the day and it turned into Madison-made henna for all three of us. Needless to say she was ready to go the day we left.

New Year's Eve we headed back to Wichita to spend a little time before heading back to Dallas. New Year's Day we went out for lunch. Madison had been wearing her tutu all morning, so she decided she had to wear it out to lunch. I love her expression too.

While in KC we tried to see lots of our friends. So we had lunch date and play dates. I think Madison had a great time, but I think we wore ourselves out. Thanks to everyone who made time to see us and to those that hosted our visits. It was great to see everyone!

First snowman

Maddie couldn't wait to get out in the snow and play. Madison tried to be helpful making the snowman, but she kept getting snow down her gloves.

Christmas #3

After spending several cold days in Wichita, we headed to KC on Sunday. While Wichita never got more than 4 inches of snow, KC has almost 14 by the time we got there. After a nap, it was time for Christmas #3. Madison helped hand out all the gifts and made it through them all this time because we wait to open until they are all handed out.
Madison got Jessie from Toy Story (she sleeps with Madison most nights now), 2 great books and an art portfolio from Grandame and Grandad. Then we ate dinner. Then after dinner, we got Renny, Brian, Luke and Ella on the video chat so they could see Madison open their gifts from them. They got her the little people wedding set and little people royal carriage. Then Maddie opened the cutest tutu and headband. She was so busy playing with her little people that she wasn't that interested at first, but then she put it on.
Jessie!

This is the adorable outfit that Aunt Ashley bought for Madison. She wore it the day after Christmas. The video is Grandma and Grandpa being silly with Madison.
