A Princess Christmas! :)

Happy New Year!!

My baby girl has a new best friend! The love these girls have for each other is none like I've ever seen before! I don't know if it's because she is just growing up and able to play with other kid better, or if it's because they just like each other so much!


Her name is Chloe!


When they are apart, they talk about each other. Alexis even sings songs about Chloe, and says that all her toys belong to her. Chloe's Princess Castle, Chloe's bed, Chloe's phone...and at least every half an hour, Alexis asks if she can see Chloe.

I love that she has a friend that she loves so much! Her only other friend that she gets to see once in a while is Braelyn, and I have never seen her play with Braelyn like she does with Chloe. Maybe it's because Chloe is 4 months older than Alexis and Braelyn is 5 months younger than Alexis, and there is a big difference at this age, but I honestly can not get over how awesome they play together! I love it!



Christmas was AWESOME this year!! I should have had an entire blog post just for the holiday, because it was just so great! Alexis LOVED every second of it! Even Christmas Eve was great! I decided to start our traditions this year, even though she doesn't understand yet as to why we are doing certain things, but it was still a lot of fun!
In the afternoon, we made Reindeer Food to put outside for the reindeer while they are waiting for Santa! Alexis had so much fun making it, even though she didn't understand why we were doing it! But what 2 year old wouldn't have fun putting random things into a jar and shaking it around, and then dumping it outside!?



When we took it outside, Alexis was so excited! Although, when we were done, she cried, because she actually thought we were going to feed reindeer. The poor girl was sad because there were no reindeer outside, and didn't understand they were coming when we were sleeping.

And then before bedtime, we got out Milk and Cookies for Santa...and well...Santa better have gotten a ton of milk and cookies at all the other kids houses this year, because he sure didn't get any from our house...because Alexis ate his cookies and drank his milk and she enjoyed them! lol



Christmas morning was incredible! Santa definitely went all out this year and spoiled my little girl! But in my eyes, she is so deserving! If I can give her the world, she is going to get it! No one understands my spoiling her, and maybe it isn't such a good thing, but she is all I have in the world, and if I can give her everything that I did for Christmas, and still afford to live and not give up important things like food and shelter and still somehow live comfortably, then she will get spoiled! And spoiled, she was!


What it looked like after Santa showed up!


Her list of presents this year:
A Mini Grand Piano, 56 Burned Disney/Kids movies, 2 dress up dress/skirt, princess kitchen with princess dishes, food, toaster, princess phone, princess bed set, princess barbies, paint, dora laptop, rapunzel, princess hair accessory kit, 2 babies with accessories, fairy barbies, barrettes and hair elastics, pj's, cinderella story pillow, change purse, princess books, playdoh, etc.



It was definitely a Christmas to remember! She was so excited when she saw her Piano, and loved opening all her presents! And she loved them all!
After we were done Christmas at our house, we went to my parents house for the rest of the day, where we opened more presents, spent time with family and ate good food!
What an awesome day! :)

I got the best present ever! (Other than seeing my baby girl's bright happy face all morning!) The Photobook I made for Alexis (Her First Year), was nicely wrapped up for me, and let me tell you, it looks SOOOO awesome! I look at it every day, and can't wait to finish the 2nd one and get that one also.




A few pages!


And Alexis' room is now finished! All decked out in Princess! And let me tell you, my Girl is just loving it! Every time she runs into her room, she yells "My Princess Room!" The first time she saw it finished, was priceless! I Wish I had it on video! She ran around, freaking out about all her new stuff! "Whoa! What's this?!" and "pretty cool!" and gasping at everything! It was definitely worth all the time I put into it! :) She just LOVES it and everything in it!




The only difference in the room no, is that there are Princess Curtains and where the bear is, there is a Princess castle! Where I'm going to put there big bear now, is beyond me....lol
