"Here is the paper.......here.............Pa-Pa.....Ya-Ya..........Ma-Ma(which she calls me and Grandma) .........Da-Da........ anyone who will take it.

Kyren and Dad play rock-em-sock em.

Driving us Crazy....

This is Charleigh's big present form Grandma and Grandpa, she has already spent several hours driving this around the house. She loads it up with her toys,dolls and purses and says with a southern accent "Bye-Bye". It sounds more like "Bah-Bah." and like most everything she has to say it to everyone in the room until they acknowledge her. She is so much fun. She made our Christmas.

She gets a push from Grandpa, he had no idea what he was started.

Crazy Aunt Charity pretends she wants to take it for a spin herself. Charleigh just stands back and watches with a big grin on her face. It was like she was thinking" Hey, if you can get yourself in there feel free to drive it all you want."

LOOK OUT!!!

Clementine sits in it for a little bit.

When they first woke up........

Sweet baby Clementine

Kyren and his Beatles book.

Charleigh saw her car and Elmo and was soooo excited. She said "WOW"

Then she took it for a spin.

OH CHRISTMAS TREE...

This is how the tree looked before the kids woke up.

This is a jack-in-the-box tigger, that looks like a present. You press the button and tigger talks or jumps out or both. Then it snaps closed. Charleigh would bring it to Pa-Pa or Grandma and then laugh when they pretended that they were scared. In one of these pictures you can see that Pa-Pa let it snap on her finger. It only bothered her for a split-second. Then it was back to playing with the toy again.

Ride'em cowgirl

More of the jumping horse, look at all of her faces.........

Christmas Eve

Opening a few gifts early.

Grand Gram and the girls.

Kyren opens the newest Harry Potter DVD

Anytime Charleigh opened a present, she would hand each little scrap of paper to whoever was closest. If you weren't paying attention she would yell your name until you took that little scrap of paper. She did this for every single present. In this picture Charleigh had just gotten out of a bath and Ya-Ya let her open a present.

another example of her not wanting the paper to touch the ground.

She got a cabbage patch doll from some family friends.

Then she took the doll for a ride on both of her horses.

LET'ER BUCK

Charleigh came home from Mississippi with a jumping horse from Grandmother and Granddaddy Ferrell. She LOVES to get on it & ride like crazy. I keep thinking she is going to pull it over on her, but so far so good.
She rides first thing in the morning.......

In her dress, with a cabbage patch doll and her cowgirl hat........

In Mississippi........
and after a bath with nothing but a towel on...... She kept saying"It's COLD!!!!"
