Maddie's First Christmas Eve

Getting ready to go see Grandma & Grandpa Rivera

Checking out the lights...again

Pulling on the beads...again

Getting told, "NO!"...again :)

Something for everyone! There's barely room to walk around all of those glorious boxes & bags.

Merry Christmas Eve, everyone. We love you like crazy

Houston Snow (and Other Goodies...)

Dancing Machine! This morning she danced so crazy that she toppled over. The other day, I was taping her walking and some music happened to come on the TV...apparently, it was pretty groovy!
