Growing Up......

We have given Tallie some more responsiblities since she is getting older. And mommy has given up some of her...ahem...control issues. :)


One of them is her bedroom. I told her she can decorate her room how she wants to IF she takes care of it.

She agreed and decided to start cleaning her room right away. She was in her room for a while. Finally she comes downstairs very excited for me to see her NEW room.


**Once again...mommy trying to be excited for her and yet holding back control issues** lol


Here is what I saw when I walked in her room!

I am so excited for these "tween years." 

And I love her decorations...I mean I'll take horses over Justin Bieber anytime!

We have a new neighbor.
She is a real beauty and very quiet.




Tallie has been wanting us to get a horse for a while.
We think this was the next best thing. 

  

She loves to visit Miss Abby.
She likes to give her special treats and just love on her.
Our neighbors have asked Tallie if she would like to take care of her when they go away.
Of course she said YES!



I think Tallie might like that. 





  Join in on the fun!

Christmas Day 2011

Today was a wonderful day! It was full of early risers, many gifts to unwrap, good food traditions (like French Toast casserole and Homemade Pizza!!), and just loving on each other.

My poor girl was so sick today. :( She is battling a running nose, fever, and well, just plain old tired. She smiled the best she could today!! She was happy with her new Kindle!

The tree and presents after the big day!!

Here she is finishing the day. We watched "A Dolphin's Tale" and went to sleep. What a marvelous day! Thank you Jesus for so many blessings!

Merry Christmas Eve!!

Glory to God in the Highest!!
