"Chase"

When I was growing up, my favorite thing to play was "Chase." My dad would chase after my sister and I all around the house and we loved it! It would entertain us for hours, seriously. Well, Mya loves to play chase with me and Dan too, which is so much fun for us. So when my parents came to visit, she initiated playing chase with my dad, which was hilarious. Here is a picture of my dad chasing Mya and her running to my mom. So cute!
And here's Mima keeping Mya safe from Papa! So cute! She was giggling so hard!
Just a typical day with my missy moo, that's what I like to call her! All smiles in the morning as that is her favorite time! Good thing there's not a picture of me because I am a complete grump and hate the mornings. Same with Dan. We're not sure where she gets her love of the mornings from, but it's not from us! (We blame Mima and Papa!)
Mya got a stroller from her Aunt Sissy and Uncle Matt for Christmas and to say she loves it is an understatement. She plays with it constantly. She puts her bear in it, her kitty in it, block in it, sippy cups, etc. and pushes it all around the house. All I have to say is, "Mya, go get your kitty and put it in your stroller" and she does it without any help or anything. She's so smart! Anyway, thanks Aunt Sissy and Uncle Matt!
Last, but not least, here is Mya reading with Grandma and Papa. Course, at this point, she wasn't so much reading as she was being silly. And my goodness, she is so silly! Well, that's all for now. Stay warm! Or try to, at least!

Happy New Year!

There is so much to cover since I last updated, but as usual, I don't really have the time to get into everything, so here are a few pictures from Christmas and I'll try to post again soon. We took a ton of pictures, so this is just a sneak peak!
See, Mya really is an angel! Grandma and Aunt Vicki were having the kids put on an impromptu skit of the birth of Jesus and Mya got to be an angel. Cutest angel I've ever seen!

Just a quick family photo by the tree on Christmas Eve!Mya on Christmas morning, peeking into her stocking. She got her first toothbrush!Here's Mya opening up a gift from Mommy and Daddy. She really didn't know what to do with her presents but she was definitely excited once they were opened and she realized she had a new toy!Here's Mya listening to a book with Mima and Papa. They had bought her a recordable book from Hallmark and Mima recorded herself reading the story to Mya. Mya was absolutely mesmorized by it and she still is! Overall, we had a great Christmas and were so glad to not have to travel hardly at all this year!
