Hailey got herself dressed and then put on a show for me using her “fancies.”

She’s quite the dancer!

My little miss

We went to an indoor bike riding/roller skating party with Hailey’s UPK:

Hailey got to ride her bike in a nice big open space instead of our dining room.  We live on a pretty steep hill so she usually doesn’t get to ride her bike unless we take her somewhere to ride it.

She had to try going around on skates a few times.  Then she remembered that she does not like skating.

Doesn’t Rich look nice with a princess helmet on?  Hailey did not think so.

The helmet back where it belongs.

A few more rides around on her bike.

Hailey and me.  Then we went home where Hailey slept soundly all night long

One more shot of Hailey and Dottie.

As much as I am sick of the snow, I did think this particular snow looked pretty.  Here’s a view of our back yard from our deck:

Here are some pictures I took after the wedding- some group shots and then a few pictures from the reception.

On New Years Eve we all decided it was time to get out and do something.  So we went roller skating.

Hailey was pretty excited about going.

Standing up with her skates on… she fell a few seconds after I took this picture.

Rich helping Hailey skate around the rink.

Not such a fan of skating now.

Hailey decided to cuddle with Aunt Ellie instead of going skating.

Then Rich came up with the idea to let Hailey wear her sneakers and stand on the thing you push while he skated her around the rink.

She loved it.

Everyone took turns giving her rides around the rink.

Then Rich and I went off to pick up our new car and some pizza to get the party going back at my parents’ house.

Hailey made it until midnight and yelled “Happy New Year!”

One New Years Day we had a delicious breakfast before Matt, Ellie and their furry children had to hit the road.  Hailey had to say goodbye and get a picture with each of the animals.

We had a wonderful Christmas vacation!!

The rest of our Christmas vacation week seemed to go by in a blur.  Here are a few highlights.

On Tuesday- Hailey enjoyed playing with her Polly Pockets Roller Coaster.  Then she spent the day with Grandma and Pa while Rich and I went car shopping.

On Wednesday we had dinner and game night over at our house.  Hailey, Aunt Ellie and Uncle Matt played a noisy game of Hungry, Hungry, Hippos.

Then we played Rook (which I won ) while Hailey drew pictures for everyone.

A fun filled game of Duck-Duck-Goose around the dining room table.

On Thursday Hailey played with Grandma and Pa again while Rich and I did more car shopping.  We were more prepared with our car shopping and found a SUV that we wanted.  Afterwards we all went out to the Olive Garden for dinner.
