Breaded Green Beans

Tonight at dinner, we had breaded green beans and Maggie said, "What's this green thing in my french fry?". We all had a good laugh at that one!!

Thanksgiving Break

Maggie and I only had school on Monday and Tuesday last week. We started our break with a doctor's appt. on Wednesday. Maggie needed her 2nd dose of her flu shot. Luckily for her, it was the nasal spray! After we got that done, we headed to Nana and Papa's house to spend the day and get some Christmas shopping done. We also got all of our Christmas decorations put up.

For Thanksgiving on Thursday, we spent the day with all of my side of the family at Uncle Brett and Aunt Ana's house. It was nice to have the whole day together to hang out, too, because Brett and Rob actually had the day off!

On Friday, we did a little Black Friday shopping, but waited until 10am!! :) We hit Wal-Mart and pretty much finished our Christmas shopping.

On Saturday night, Rob and I went out with friends, so Maggie got to have dinner with Nana and Papa and spend the night at their house. They even drove her around town to check out all the Christmas lights.

It was a great long weekend spent with family and friends!

More Maggie Funnies

When we got home today, Maggie asked if she could have a piece of candy. I said she could have 1 piece. She then got 3 pieces. When I told her she didn't need all 3, and that she was only supposed to get 1, she replied, "But mommy I need 1 for me, 1 for my baby and 1 for my puppy. My baby and puppy aren't real mommy and they can't eat candy." Now that's a nice way to try and get more candy for yourself. Unfortunately for Maggie, it didn't work out. Can't blame a girl for trying though!!

Later tonight, Maggie was playing with her toy computer that talks. She all of a sudden went running across the room yelling, "I'll be right back computer, I've got to go to the bathroom!"

Fun with Grandparents

Maggie was very excited today that Nana and Papa would be picking her up from school and taking her to their house to spend the afternoon together!! In fact, Miss Suzy said that they heard about it from Maggie all morning long at school! After I got off work, Rob and I drove up to meet his parents, my parents and Maggie for dinner. Maggie was in 7th heaven to have all 4 of her grandparents doting on her this evening. She was pretty quick to show off for them, too!

Fashion Diva in Training

Maggie has been on a kick lately of wanting to wear dresses all the time. Yesterday, she picked one and put it on. Well, she later went upstairs because she said she had to get something and this is how she came back down:

She said she didn't want to get cold when she went to play in the basement, so she put on her coat vest, winter hat, and mittens. I'm not so sure how warm crocs are though!!

Girl's Night

Maggie and I had a girl's night Friday night since Daddy was out for the evening. We watched movies, ate popcorn, and snuggled up in a warm, cozy bed together (especially nice since it was rainy and cold outside). It was great fun and I can't wait to do it again and again with her!

Maggie's Funny Face

Last week, one of Maggie's teachers said she kept tapping them to get them to look at her. When they did, she gave them this face. They all laughed and needless to say, Maggie is constantly doing it now since she thinks it's so funny!

Halloween

After heading back home yesterday from Indiana, Maggie got changed into her bunny costume and was ready to trick or treat! It was pretty chilly last night, so we only went to the neighbor's houses and a few other special friends. Here's the cutest bunny ever!

She wouldn't stop "eating" her carrot!

Dustin and Mallory's Wedding

Last Thursday, Maggie and I spent the night at Uncle Brett and Aunt Ana's house because we were leaving for Indiana early Friday morning for my cousin Dustin's wedding. We were all so excited to get on the road to see everyone that we were all awake by 5:00am!! Maggie did great in the car the whole way, despite only sleeping for about an hour! We even got to spend some time with some of our relatives on Friday night.

Saturday was the wedding and Maggie couldn't wait to get dressed and ready to go for it either. She asked me all day, multiple times, if she could change into her dress. During the ceremony and mass, Maggie got lots of attention being passed up and down the pew between all my aunts and uncles and Nana and Papa. Afterwards, at the reception, she was a DANCING QUEEN! She danced all night, whether alone, or with someone. She danced and ran and played until she crashed!

Caught in the act...we actually got her to slow down long enough for a photo!
