Peyton's First Smile

Could life get any better when a newborn smiles for the first time?!

I cannot get enough of this sweet smile.

There have been just a few before today...which are unofficial because it was just one and not again. 

Wednesday afternoon, she grinned that big 'ole silly grin and just didn't stop.

Then again, today, she kept at it. 

 

So, I proclaim it official...Peyton Smiles!

Christmas Eve & Day

Few holidays are complete without rolling out and frosting cookies. Aunt Melissa is always in charge of this activity and she comes up with all kinds of fun colors.

Blake put together a movie trivia game for everyone to play. Sammie loved it and had Grandma as her spelling helper.

Papa and his grand-daughters.

This picture accurately portrays these girls' personalities.

Prima Ballerina

Samantha is continuing ballet as her extra-cirricular activity. At the end of this semester, they had a mini-performance to show off their skills.

  Sam is ALL business when she is dancing.

 

She doesn't quite understand the performance is FUN!

 

They also performed a Christmas song for the parents. I am begging her to smile at me!

Her BFF and neighbor Emilynn is in class with her. They have far too much fun together.
