Lunch with Grandma

Mallory and I went to lunch with Grandma on Wednesday. I had to show you her adorable outfit because it was a Christmas present from one of my best friends. So cute!

After she ate herself silly on grilled cheese, chicken and french fries, she noticed a picture of M&Ms on the placemat and attempted to pick them up. I marched myself up to the counter, handed over 26 cents and got this pretty little girl her very own cup of M&Ms. ...sharing with Grandma...

...when you're 1 ... M&Ms DO melt in your hands...

Weekend Highlights

Well, the weekend was a hit. Casey and I had a great time camping - not too much rain and just the right amount of cold weather to help us appreciate the camp fire!! Though we don't have any photos from our "up nort" adventure, here are some of the things Mallory did at my mom's while we were away.

A few of my aunts and uncles stopped by for a visit on Saturday night. Here is Mallory with my Uncle Wayne. You can really only appreciate this if you KNOW my uncle, but I assure you there is nothing but love and humor behind this shot. (no pun intended!)
Here's the proof that he turned down Mallory's request for Kessler in trade for a bottle.

We missed our girl over the weekend, but we knew she'd have lots of fun at Grandma and Grandpa's. And besides, she wouldn't have loved sleeping in a 24 degree tent as much as we did!

To Grandma's House She Goes

Mallory is SO excited for her first overnight stay at Grandma's house. Casey and I are going camping with some friends for the weekend, so she'll be staying at my mom's.

Here she is trying to escape - she didn't know I was taking this video since her bedroom door was only open a crack (though I swear she looked right at the camera toward the end).

Good to know she's a tough girl ... she didn't even cry when she hit bonked her forehead on the crib rail. (and yes, you can hear Casey and I giggle - she was fine!)
