Sweet Caroline,
Today we went to visit Great Grandmama and Grandaddy in Beebe for Christmas and my birthday celebration. Since My Actual Birthday falls on a Monday this year we decided to celebrate the Sunday before. I have celebrated my Birthday with them since my very first one! This will be your second year to celebrate with me! You make my Birthday so much more special!
Grandmama and Grandaddy were so happy to see you! They love you so much and don’t get to see you as often as they would like or as often as I would like. We had a wonderful visit! You looked at all of Grandmama’s children’s books and played with all of the dolls and stuffed animals that she has made through the years. We had a great lunch and a delicious chocolate cake for the Birthday Dessert! You really wanted to play with the Candles, but sadly I would not let you. We had a great day visiting and celebrating Christmas and my Birthday! You are by far the best gift I have ever received.
I Love you,
♥Mommy

Sweet Caroline,
Merry Merry Christmas to you Sweet Baby Girl! I think I was the most excited about it being Christmas Morning! I was super early waiting around for you and Daddy to wake up! I had plenty of time to get myself ready and make us breakfast before either one of you woke up! You must have been a very good girl! Santa delivered lots of Fantastic goodies for you! I believe you were in total awe when came into the living room and saw everything! Your big Santa surprise was a beautiful painted wooden table and chairs! Pops and Santa did an amazing job on it!
We opened gifts and played with all of your new things. Pops, Gigi, and Aunt E E came over to celebrate Christmas morning with us and to see what all Santa brought you! We had cinnamon Rolls and Sugar Cookies to eat! Perfect Christmas Morning Breakfast!
We got ready and headed over to Grammy and Papa Rick’s for Christmas! We had a wonderful time opening gifts and eating delicious Christmas Lunch! Grammy and Papa Rick catered to your every need and you had a fantastic Christmas Day! After spending the afternoon with Grammy and Papa Rick we headed home to rest up for Christmas with Pops and Gigi. After a nap and little playtime we headed on over for more Christmas fun! Annie, Casey, and Walt B. (Casey’s Boyfriend) came too! Walt trains service dog for disabled people and he had his current dog Stetson with him. You were so excited about Stetson, you wouldn’t leave him alone. We had a wonderful dinner and then it was gift time. You decided to deliver every gift to Pops! I guess you thought he had just been really good all year! We opened gifts and you were very pleased with your Weebles Tree house from Pops and Gigi! You sat in Gigi lap and the two of played with the Weebles Tree and you just laughed and laughed every time one of the Weeble people would go down the slide. We had a wonderful Christmas Night with Pops and Gigi! We headed back home; all got ready for bed and finished out Christmas Day with the reading of the Christmas Story. The perfect ending to our perfect Christmas Day spent with the entire Family. God has blessed this family. Merry Christmas and I Love You, My Sweet Caroline.
You are a Blessing,
♥Mommy

Sweet Caroline,
Happy Christmas Eve! We had all of Papa Rick’s family over for our annual Christmas Eve get together along with the Annual White Elephant game! All of the kiddos (Brea, Manning, Drake and Ella) came and you were thrilled to have them there. You were the Perfect little Christmas Eve Host! I don’t think you have shy bone in your little body! The second they started arriving you took them straight over to your toy area to play! What a Sweet Girl you are!
There are always tons and tons of delicious dishes…it wouldn’t be our Christmas Eve without all of it! You ate tons of the yummy food! Uncle Walt decided to give all of you little kids his White Elephant gift which was a huge tin of Flavored Popcorn. You all went crazy for the popcorns! All of the adult stood around and watched you all attacked the popcorn tin! After the Popcorn extravaganza you got already for Bed in you Christmas Pajamas…I was able to get one (not so great) picture of you with the Cookies for Santa before you projectile vomited all over yourself and me! Poor little Caroline! I am not sure if it was the last bit of the stomach bug hanging around….too much to eat….or your food allergy manifesting in a whole another way….regardless you made a huge Splash…A Nasty One! After getting you all cleaned up and had a Christmas Eve treat for you. A new Christmas Book called Jolly Old Santa Claus. Grammy had this book for me when I was little! You sat in her lap and she read the book too you twice! You also said “Merry Christmas!” So exciting and what perfect timing you had for that phrase! This was the perfect way to end our Christmas Eve Night!
I LOVE YOU!

Sweet Caroline,
Happy 18 Months to you! Your current weight 21 pounds and 8 ounces and you are 31 inches in Height! You are exactly the same size that you were one month ago. I think your lack of weight gain might be partly due to the stomach bug you had this past weekend. You haven’t quite been able to shake it off. You are one tough cookie, no complaining out of you! You definitely get that from your Mama! Plus you starting having some kind of Horrible skin allergic reaction to something you are eating. Bless your heart! Thank goodness for the wise women in our family that keeps me from completely freaking out when stuff like this happens! I do not deal with it very well!
Hard to believe you are already 18 months old! Only a short six months until you will be two! You can bet I will be doing everything I can to slow our time together down! Time is precious and fleeting.
Here is a recap of new words and such from this past month!
“Papa” for Papa Rick….haven’t quite got the Rick part yet
“Eat”
“Thank you”
“Please”
“Santa”
“Ho Ho Ho!”
“Taco”
“Pops”
“Knock Knock” and you actually said” Knock Knock while you were knocking on the door!
“Grammy”
You have starting saying so much just in just this past month…so amazing! I love when watching you learn and say new things!
You most very favorite thing to watch on television is Disney’s Prep and Landing! I am amazing at how this Christmas show completely holds your attention. You demand that I fast forward through the commercial too! This is the first and only thing that you have sat through time and time again. We have watching Prep and Landing I would say…..at least 115 times so far this month! You can’t get enough of Wayne the Elf!
I Love you Sweet Girl!
Happy 18 Months!

Dear Sweet Caroline,
Most Mondays you stay at Home with Daddy instead of going to Ms.Jo’s since he is off on Mondays. I think you both enjoy having a Daddy-Daughter day. Today was no different you all stayed home and you were a good girl for most of the day. You started to get fussy in the late afternoon and you were still in a mood when I got home. Daddy did make Dinner for us which was so nice. We had Tacos and you insisted on feeding yourself. You did say “Taco” for the first time… another word to add to your vocabulary! We got a call for Aunt Elizabeth ( E.E.). She wanted you to come over for a Sleep Over since she wouldn’t be seeing you on Wednesday. Normally GiGi or Aunt E.E. pick you up from Ms. Jo’s on Wednesdays. This Week GiGi had something she had to do and couldn’t. They came to get you for your First “Sleep Over on a School Night!”
You and Aunt E.E. had a wonderful time! She told me all about the sleepover the next day! You were a joy all evening long and you slept all night. The next morning you all took your time getting ready…had a little morning story time and toast with jelly. Aunt E.E. said you liked the toast better without the Jelly. Then she took you to Ms. Jo’s. Your first Sleep Over on a School Night was a Success!
I Love you!

Sweet Caroline,
Tonight was your Second Annual Santa Party at Pop's Bank! Every year Santa makes a special trip to the bank to see a few very special children that have been good all year. I have been looking forward to the party since we went last year! We got all dressed up to go visit Santa and enjoy cookies with him! You were rocking the Diva Elf Look....Adorable! We were so excited for Santa we arrived a little early, but it was only moments later when Santa arrived and then Pops and Gigi arrived too. He came in and you were waiting to greet him! He gave you a, "HO HO HO and said Well Hello Miss Caroline I am so happy to see you!" You just stood there with you little hands on both hips staring up at him. I think you were shocked/surprised to see the Big Jolly fellow in person! You were the first one to sit with Santa and he had a special gift for you...A Fantastic Rag Doll with loopy hair! You DID NOT like sitting with Santa all by yourself. You prefered to admire him a few feet back which you did all night and you said, "Ho Ho HO" a dozen times to him! You went all around visiting with all of the other children who were there and you checked out what Santa brought for them. The cookies Mrs. Claus made were delicious and you had several...A Snowman, Snowflake, and part of a Christmas Tree! At the end of the night you and Pops had your picture taken with Santa. YOu did not object to this... thank goodness... Mrs. Claus was able to snap a pleasant photo of you with Santa and Pops! Merry Christmas Sweet Baby! You make Christmas Time so special and wonderful!
P.S. You Made it on to Santa's Nice List!
I love you more than you will ever know,
Love, Mommy

Dear Sweet Caroline,
This past weekend was a fun and busy weekend for us! Lots of celebrating for us…Papa Rick’s Birthday and Christmas Time!
Saturday you stayed with Grammy and Papa Rick while I did some Christmas shopping. They took you to see the Lavaca Christmas Parade! Of Course you enjoyed it and you spent some time with Drake and Ella. That Night we celebrated Papa Rick’s Birthday and went to see the Christmas lights at the Park! was freezing and we had you ridiculously bundled up! In spite of the cold we had a wonderful time and the lights were spectacular! It Daddy even assisted you in your first ride down a slide while we were there! That was fun!
Sunday we had the Hefner Family Thanksgiving/Christmas get together! I very much enjoy this get together because we don’t see this family very often. You were such a sweetie pie the entire time. You played and played with your cousin’s Madison and Luke! After all of the family fun I dropped you and Daddy off at the house and headed to Greenwood Flower Shops Christmas open house with Aunt Elizabeth AKA E. E. I got a fabulous Christmas Wreath and a blinking “C” ornament for you! When I got home that evening Daddy asked you, What does Santa Say?” Your reply was “HA HO HO!” It was just precious!!! You Just Make the Holiday Season so Special!
I Love you SO MUCH Precious Girl!
