GIANT Present

So tonight I'm driving home from work and get a call from Stephe. Here's the basic conversation:

Stephe: Can I buy Charlotte a present?
Me: You mean a Christmas present?
Stephe: No, something I can give her tonight.
Me: Well, Christmas is coming. Maybe we should put it away until then.
Stephe: No, I want to see her face when she sees this thing tonight. I know she's going to love it!
Me: OK.

This Elmo is 3 feet tall! Needless to say, she really liked her present. Her hair is crazy because she just woke up from a nap. :)

Hey, I tried to be good. But now I'm thinking we better do all our shopping Christmas Eve so Charlotte can actually have something to open Christmas morning. We get too excited to wait for anything!! :)

This is just a random picture I took while Charlotte was napping the other day. She's slept with her hands behind her head since birth... Doesn't it look like she's lounging in a hammock?? :)

The Wiggly Concert

I would have posted on this sooner but we were without a computer for a few days. I'm so happy to be back up and running.

The night before Halloween, Stephe and I took Charlotte to see the Wiggles. She LOVES the show and has for a while so it seemed like this would be a blast for her. I'd say she enjoyed the show overall but may have been a little young still to take her to something like this. For about 15 minutes she was 100% into watching the stage, clapping, dancing and jumping. Once the initial excitement of seeing them live was gone, she started getting fidgety and was more into playing the chair. I guess it explains why the TV show is only 20 minutes long! LOL

I had to post this clip... It shows why overall, it was absolutely worth it to take her. The show had been going for a bit already and I happened to have the camera on her face the first time her favorite characters came out, Dorothy the Dinosaur and Wags the Dog. "Oof oof oof" is when she spots Wags and "Dor-ty" is Dorothy. Her reaction is very cool...


(Pay no attention to the guy in the background texting. LOL)

I had a tough time getting any decent pictures during the show, it was dark and I was only about 5 inches from Charlotte's face so they really didn't come out good. Here are a couple walking out afterwards though sporting her Captain Feathersword gear. How cute!
