12-24-11. Opening gifts on Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve we opened our gifts to each other. Since Christmas was on a Sunday we were going to have a super rushed day. After Santa we had church and then Grandmothers for gifts and then Nanny's for dinner and gifts. Matt was very sick during the holidays and missed all our family get togethers.

Picking the perfect gift to start with

5-5-12 A big weekend of field trips and pedicures

Matt went out of town for the weekend. Zaylei and I had a big weekend together.

Friday was Zaylei's big field teip to The Rain Forest Cafe and Build A Bear. While at Opry Mills we went to Off Broadway Shoes and had a shoe fashion show. Lots of fun.

After her field trip Friday she watched Zookeeper with Pops while Mom and I went to the movie together.

Saturday I took Zaylei to Mitzi at Cameo on the square for a pedicure. Then Grandmother took Zaylei to the Roxy to see School House Rock.

Dancing in the aisles

That girl does love heel highs.
