Caleigh's First Haircut

We finally let my mom cut Caleigh's bangs since she was beginning to look a little raggedy.  We gave her a sucker, and my mom took a few snips.  When we looked at the amount of hair she took off, it looked like nothing, but I thought it made Caleigh look really different.  It didn't really hit me that she had had a haircut until the next day.  Without the shabby bangs, her little round face and especially round cheeks were accentuated more than usual, and I must admit she looked more like Grandma than ever.  Now, it is growing out a bit, and I'm getting more used to it.

Rusty's 29th Birthday

Rusty had another down-home birthday - fried taters, fried chicken, pinto beans, and dirt cake. His favorite gift was a card that plays "Foggy Mountain Breakdown;" Caleigh also loved this gift as she danced, twisted, rolled, shook... for everyone. She is always our live entertainment. She also enjoyed wearing his new tennis shoes around.

Christmas

We had a wonderful, yet busy Christmas. Caleigh really got into the whole gift thing, which really surprised me. She had to rip every sheet of paper off every box, and she loved dumping out the bags. I'm not sure what her favorite gift was, but she liked her dog vacuum cleaner a lot. Even after Christmas, she is still being a good girl (even though we didn't threaten her with "You know Santa's watching). These pictures show her raising her hands when she is asked if she has been a good girl.
