Rockettes

It is a little delayed, but I am finally getting up pics from the Rockettes. It was AWESOME!!! We had no idea at how great of detail there was going to be. There outfits were so pretty and they stayed in a perfect line. It was an eye popping show from the start to finish... and speaking of a finish, IT WAS SURPRISING AND GREAT! We couldn't believe it when the lights dimmed and then they started sharing the story of Christ. They had a live nativity scene complete with Camels. I COULD NOT believe it. They actually had two of them, and other animals as well. It was one of the most beautiful things that I have seen at a show. The colors were brilliant and the story was told in a unique way. They pulled down a huge screen that looked like a scroll and had a description of Christ scroll up it as the announcer read it off. I would go back again and again!

Christmas Pics

Me and Santa

Well Santa decide to stop by the Floyd house early this year! We felt extra special because Santa made a house call for us... Dad's friend dresses up as Santa, and has the pretty suit that the ones at Macy's use. He came out for free to make pics with HB. She wasn't in her happiest mood, so she didnt smile a lot, but she did takes some really cute pics. I think if she would have gotten her full nap in she would have done better, but there are no complaints here! We also got some family pics and some individual ones of her. We had a great photographer (GG) and instead of paying a lot of money, we got some good laughs and great family time. Hope you enjoy!!

Christmas Pictures

This look right to you Mom?

It's finally my favorite time of year.. Christmas. You can't help but have a smile on your face when you walk into a decorated house, or turn on the radio and listen to the music, or see the presents under the tree that you know will be a big surprise! It is all just so exciting and fun. One of my favorite parts of Christmas is all the decor and lights. I must admit I go a little crazy with it, but it just makes the holidays that much better. I have realized just how hard it is to decorate when you have a 6 month old at home. So instead of trying to rush things, I sat her down and let her play as much as she wanted to with all the pretty lights. She loves to sit there and stare at them. I got some of my garland and wrapped it around her. She must be a mommys girl because she was all smiles. I got some great pics of her. I cant wait for Christmas this year because I know that it is going to be SO MUCH fun. One of dads friends is playing Santa this year and is so generously coming to our house for pics. I am so excited and think that it is going to be a fun experience. I cant wait to see how Hailey reacts.. I have a feeling it is going to be really funny :)

(i also added the pics of HB with the pickle on Thanksgiving!)

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree!

We went and picked out our Christmas tree this week. We are going to be using moms old fake one as our main tree, but it just isnt Christmas without a live tree!! I love the smell and the spirit that it fills the house with. We got a cute little small one that fits perfect in our living room. Adam is selling trees this year, so we went up there to support him. The trees are very fresh and have that wonderful smell. It was really cold the night that we went, so we only got a few pics. Hailey is totally taken back by the trees. She can't take her eyes off of them, esp when they have lights on them! Unfort when I went to decorate the tree, I remembered that I threw out all my lights last year because they were starting to go out. So I have been a bit behind this year, but hope to have it all done by this weekend!

Giving Thanks

We had lots of food and fun with our family on Thanksgiving. We started it out with lunch at Dad's parents and man did we eat. The food just kept coming and by the time it was done, the whole table was full! It was all so delicious and needless to say, we were miserable! Hailey even joined in on the food and had pickle for the first time. Don't worry! She just chewed on the end of one which I am sure felt good to her teeth! She loved it and cried when we took it away.. haha. That night we relaxed and watch some movies. I usually go home and start the Christmas decorating. But this year we had Thanksgiving at my house and it wasn't until Sunday. Mom's side of the family came over and we had a good time with them as well... and again.. more food! It was a full house and great weather for the kids to play outside. Dustin showed off his 'petting zoo' to everyone and the kids loved it! We managed to get a good pic of all the great grand kids. That night we had Dustin's family over and celebrated his Grandmothers bday as well. By the time it was all over, we didn't want anything to do with food for a while.

We count our blessings everyday and have so many things to be thankful for. Thanks to everyone who made Thanksgiving that much more special :)

(more pics are to come, so check back for new ones tomorrow)
