HE CAME!!!!!

SANTA CAME!!! Molly must have been a really good girl this year!

She was so excited!

Santa brought a Chuggington set, which she thought was so cool!

She also got a Baby Alive doll!

She had so much fun opening!

This was her Dinosaur Train! This is what she has been talking about for months. I guess Santa was listening.

Funny thing, she played with everything else more than the Dinosaur Train. Go figure.

She combined all her toys in to one big Molly imagination.

Every year we get her a Barbie Celebration ornament. This is the first year she was excited about it!

My precious girl. This is her new dance bag. I'm not sure Christmas has ever been more fun. Seeing everything thru her eyes is amazing. She is so full of life and excitement, it is catching! She is the light of our life and I am so happy she had a good day and enjoyed everything Santa brought. We are looking forward to seeing everyone in Indy tomorrow!

Christmas Eve 2010

Christmas is coming a little early to the Dallner house again this year. We are not leaving until Saturday still, but to make it at a decent hour we would have been really rushed. So, Andy and I convinced Santa to make a special early stop here so Molly has time to play with her toys.

We decorated a gingerbread house as our activity tonight. Or a birdhouse as Molly calls it.

I LOVE gingerbread houses. They are so much fun and no matter what, they always turn out cute!

Silly Daddy!

This is the letter that Molly got from Santa!

This is Molly modeling the pajamas that Mimi sent for Christmas Eve.

Still posing...

We couldn't forget to put the reindeer food out!

Those reindeer work up quite an appetite!

Here is the Santas milk, cookies and letter.

This is the first year that Molly could tell me what she wanted me to write. She wanted me to make sure I put "I love you, Santa", how cute is that? She is going to have so much fun the next few days! I can't wait!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!!

Breakfast with Santa!

Molly has been so excited about Santa this year! We went to Eckerts Apple Orchard for Breakfast with the big man. It was a really nice event.

Mrs. Clause was there too!

Our Family

Grandma and Grandpa got to go with us. It was really nice to have them!

Molly and Daddy got to ice a cookie and we got an adorable pic of Mols and Santa. They also had face painting, but she didn't want any part of that!

She was proud of her cookie!

NO DADDY! DON'T EAT MY COOKIE!

Yummy!

Molly wanted to get up on the tractor, but it was really high!

We had a really nice time. Eckerts did a really good job. We would definitely do this again! We were so happy that Grandma and Grandpa could join us. They left the next day and we miss them. We had a really nice visit! Now we are getting ready for the big day! Merry Christmas everyone!

My Big Girl's First Dance Recital!!!

Molly had her first dance recital on Thursday!!!

I was sooo nervous!

Grandma and Grandpa stayed in town to watch.

She was excited to dance like her cousin Gigi and have us yell for her!

I was afraid she wouldn't do the dance, but she did. Unfortunately, they were all bunched together, so I couldn't get any good video. But we could see her little foot tapping away!

She was so excited to get the rose Daddy and I brought her! She says she wants a pink one next time, though.

She was probably most excited that Santa was there! When I got to her she said "Mommy!! Look who's here!"

We were so proud of her! She did a great job!

Grandma and Grandpa were very happy they could be there for it!

All the kids surrounded Santa.

What a beautiful dancer!

We can't wait till June for the big recital!

Fun in the Snow!

On Sunday morning it snowed. This was evidently Holly's first experience with snow!

Andy and Matt took the girls out to play in the snow.

They had a blast!!!

It was freezing out, so they couldn't play long :(

They both sobbed when they had to come in!

The Magic House

The Magic House is so cool! The kids had a great time!

It takes a lot of energy to chase them around!

Molly loved the sand!

Molly and Holly both loved the slide!

It was so great spending time with Holly!

Even Daddy liked playing in the water!

Molly is a good shopper! She bought lots of fruits and vegetables!

Did you know that Molly is also a mechanic? Hours of watching Cars qualifies you.

Changing tires like Guido!

The electrostatic generator is a must! Molly didn't like it one bit though!

Holly didn't mind though! Look at that hair!
