Dora

Madeline got a frighteningly large Dora doll for Christmas. It freaks us out routinely, but she likes to hug Dora and play with her hair.

Brunch

We went to a fancy brunch, so Madeline was looking her best. She also got restless pretty quickly, so we went to the hotel's lobby to play.





She preferred to be under the center table.

Ice! at the Gaylord Texan

We went to the Gaylord Texan to show Madeline the ice sculptures. After all of the Peanuts scenes we walked through, she liked the ice slide best.





Big parka!


Snoopy!


Ready to go.

Running with a spoon

I just liked these photos of Madeline running around the house with one of her new toy spoons.

Grandma's Christmas

Grandma came to Dallas to share some presents with Madeline. Madeline was thrilled with having another Christmas on the 26th.



Pretty dress!


Airplane, Airplane!


She also got a baby doll that she now won't go anywhere without.

More Presents!

Madeline got whole pile of legos, and unwrapping them was the most fun.



Then she unwrapped the bouncing/rocking Rody Pony.



Nice pony.



I want to ride the pony!



Baby wants to ride the pony!



Madeline and baby want to ride the pony!

Presents!

Madeline hung out in her wagon for much of the day.





Then she pushed her shopping cart all around the house while carrying her new little baby doll.
