Christmas Part 3

We had a third Christmas when Griffin got into town. Hailey got a new doll with stroller and high chair and a Dora couch that turns into a bed.  Lastly, Hailey enjoyed more Goetz dip!

Christmas Morning (Xmas Part 2)

Hailey didn't want Santa to come. We think she thought Santa would actually be here, because when we told her Santa came, she kept saying, Where is he? and going to the door. Now, she tells us she likes Santa Claus. Funny how some presents and candy can change a 2 year olds mind!

Santa brought Hailey a shopping cart and lots of food. Needless to say, we were served fake food all weekend. Madison is snoozing, so she is nowhere to be seen!

 

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve at Kris' Aunt Katie's

 

Hailey has a new smile. Who thought it could get worse? 

She found a new friend in Kris' cousin Kirby.

Hailey has found out the goodness that is Goetz dip, so its official - she is a Goetz! Here she is finishing it with Lily.

Seriously???

Was my reaction when school sent this picture home...

Luckily, they saved the good picture for her present for us! She does know how to smile!

These were the best presents EVER! She made this ornament and tree at school and it was all wrapped up for us.

Christmas Part 1

at my parents. At first, when we asked Hailey if she wanted her presents, she said no. Then my mom started bringing out the piles of presents and Hailey said I want my presents please! She loved opening them. She helped Kris and I open every one of our presents too. It was a fun night. She got a I'm a big sister ornament (as shown) and her new doll (just to name a few).

Visitors

Aimee and Esme stopped by to visit and meet Madison. Hailey was very excited to see her friend. She tried to hug poor Esme a couple thousand times while she was here. Hailey was very proud to share her snacks with Esme. It was a nice visit.

Funny Hailey Comments

Couple of Hailey comments that continue to make me laugh and one incident.

When you tell Hailey, "You're such a big girl."  She will correct you and say "I'm NOT a big girl, I'm BIG!"  She is so emphatic about it too.

She also constantly tells us, "I have big eyes" and then open her eyes wide to illustrate her comment.  

Lastly, the incident.  At school, they had a holiday party yesterday, and Santa came and visited every room.  Now, those of you who know, Hailey does not like Santa.  When asked if she wants Santa to come, she says, "I don't want Santa to come" and if you push by telling her how great Santa is and how he brings presents and candy (her favorite), she will actually start to cry and say she doesn't want Santa to come.  However, we did go to the mall and she had a mild curiosity to the Santa at the mall.   She didn't want to take her picture or anything, but she didn't seem terrified.   I guess at the party when Santa visited their room, she started to shake with terror.  The teachers had to take her out of the room while Santa visited.  How crazy is that?  Maybe the presents and candy from Santa on Christmas will change her mind.  We sure hope so!

School pictures

First of all, sorry for the quality, these are pictures of pictures. Anyway, periodically, Hailey has school pictures. These were supposed to be Christmas pictures. Talk about hilarious! Could she be any more pissed off? The teachers said they did everything they could to try and get her to smile. Everytime they come in, Hailey has this look. Just wait until she's older and I show her these!
