Decorating Christmas Trees

Today Hayden, Gracie and myself went to put up and decorate Mema and Nana's Christmas Trees. They have the fake kind, which this is the first year Hayden didn't really understand why their trees were in a box! She thought it was really SILLY! She helped me put all the ornaments on the trees, it is really cute she always puts them in the same place, but since Mema is older she thought it was so cute...She wouldn't let me move them later. I guess every time she looks at the tree she will think of Hayden. Gracie also tried to help...She threw lots of the ornaments at the tree. I guess she was hoping that they would automatically just hang there. It was cute and luckily she didn't break but One. After we got done at Mema's house we went to Nana and Steve's. Steve had already put the tree up, so all we had to do was help Nana decorate. I think every one in my family lets me do this every year because they know how much I love it. Hayden always makes herself right at home and goes in demanding FOOD. Today she had to have scrambled eggs...and yes, she had to help cook it too. Then she needed some toast. She is spoiled rotten at Nana and Steve's. They will cook anything she wants whenever she wants it! Gracie is very attached to Steve, it is really funny, instead of chasing me around like she usually does...She didn't even know I existed. Every time he would get up and move she would cry out until he came back for her. She also showed Nana and Steve how she CAN WALK. She walked all over the place. Last night she started moving around pretty good and I realized that the shoes I have been putting on her might be part of her problem during the day. She always walks better at night in her pajamas. So I went to the Shoe Dept and bought her baby's first walking shoes today..She has been wearing all of Hayden's hand me downs. She has done much better today! It is so cute when she gets that confidence and takes off. Last night we were finally able to get it on video, but I have no idea where the cord is that hooks up to the computer to share it with everybody. Mark is supposed to be figuring out where we can get another one! I tried to take pictures of the girls and the decorated trees today, but I couldn't get one of them together(I know every one is surprised). We had so much fun with Mema, Pop, Nana and Steve today! I hope they like their trees!!!!

This was one of my favorite Christmas outfits on Hayden:

This is what Gracie thought about taking pictures:
