Mia with her new swing - Christmas gift

Realizing the traditions of Christmas

Mia and Daddy put together a gingerbread house that Nana and Welo gave Mia during the last visit. The house has been on the table for a few weeks now, and Mia hasn't paid much attention to it until the past week. Jamie said Mia wanted to look at the house and Debbie noticed that she is starting to move the chair around so she can climb it to get to the gingerbread house.

Here's Mia caught in action and then sharing a piece with Daddy and Mommy.

Christmas in AZ

Mia was busy helping us work through the boxes of Christmas ornaments. She loved laughing and playing with the sting of lights in the green grass while Daddy got frustrated with some of the lights that didn't work.

And yes, our Christmas tree is outside. I would not recommend this option for those of you in Michigan.
