Payten thinks her Christmas Tree should be Yellow, it's her favorite color.

Best Friends...

Payten and Haylee are busy at work making holiday ornaments and gifts for Grandparents. They are too cute together. Payten ran upstairs to get something and Haylee yelled "Payten" and Payten answered, "I'm upstairs"... we truly are blessed that Haylee is here and so close in age... Payten has gotten to hold baby Aubrey too.. it has given her the opprotunity to see how to treat someone who is smaller than her! This is a true meaning of the holiday, to make things for out loved ones to show them how much we love them and to spend time with those we love. Unfortunately we do not get to spend time with our families but we have some great friends to help us fill our hearts with happiness. We love all of you Buffalonians and other places too.. We wish you Happy Holidays.. stay posted... we are getting a Christmas Tree next weekend!

Nap Time...

night night mouse... she uses a placemat for a blanket
Night night baby and bunny

Nap time is for everyone at our house...Payten has put her animals and babies to sleep right before she takes herself up to naptime.

The progresson of Santa..

The buggies had to be in the picture, she talked ot Santa Claus about them. She wouldn't smile but didn't cry. She actually held a conversation with him and said goodbye Santa!

while Mommy decorates...this is what is going on around her!

Thanksgiving in Alabama

Payten wearing a hat for the first time this year, the weather was brisk but great!
Alabama is great, you can walk in the middle of the street and Wesson can go without a leash she was in her glory, 1 mile walk for the both of them.

The ride home, wow what a day!

No more pictures mommy!!!

Michele and Payten

she wants to clean everyone...

cleaning the bulbs

The Alabamians and the Georgian's dogs and all!

minus Tiff, she didn't set the timer...

Payten and Jeff

how many men does it take to turn on a movie, I bet Winsten can do it!

Wesson is exhausted from all the food that she got fed and the excercise, she can walk freely in Alabama, she loved it!

I really don't want to smile mommy!

haha.. Jeff is sooo hilarious...

Aunt Marie bout her a mermaid and a house

Jeff taught me to lock Renee in the bathroom..haha

see this is how you do it..

We spent Tuesday and Wednesday in Alabama.. it was beautiful there. Thank you to the family and we loved spending time with you guys. Payten grew a liking to Jeff as the day went on, she thinks he is hilarious... he finally got a hug right before we went home.

Painting like mommy!

I remember when I was little my grandma would give us a cup of water and a paint brush, we would paint rocks and such for hours. Well I did the same with Payten when she wanted to be like mommy and paint! Someday she will be painting rocks, but right now she is just painting the walls...

Sunday Football

Papa and Dama bought Payten a train set... she had to set up today!

When we were kids my brothers and I had a train set that would go around the tree. I loved it and so did my brothers. "Dama and Papa" Matuszewski bought Payten her first train set, the Polar Express to go around her Christmas Tree, we picked it up today and well... she never forgot it was in the car and insisted on setting it up... She had a great time!

Payten's stay at the Gerevic's

It's amazing as the girls get older they become better and better friends. They communicate with eachother like girls do, they scream, laugh, giggle and laugh. I left Payten at the Gerevics' and she had so much fun, I can only imagine the days when they have sleep overs with eachother. They truly are a picture of best friends. We are so blessed to have them here! Thanks Gerevics'! Check out Haylee's blog for the cute movie of them interacting. www.hayleegerevics.blogspot.com
