Pictures from the last few months

I retrieved our camera cord from a box and wanted to share some pictures from the last couple of months...

November

Makaia's artwork from Sunday school. The teachers said she was very meticulous about where she wanted each tissue paper to be placed on her tree. What? Our kid? hahaha. That's our girl :)
Saying goodbye to all of our belongings. One month later, when they delivered the containers, Makaia recognized them and says, "OUR STUUUUUFFF!" then started listing all of the items inside that belonged to her, "my table, my toys, my chairs..."

After days of travel, we get to Heidi and Kyle's in Lemoore. The next morning, Makaia puts on her backpack and says, "I'm ready to go!" She got used to being carted from city to city.

December

While we were "living" in Fresno, these are the gingerbread houses that Grandma and Grandpa took her to make. They said that she didn't want any help and knew exactly where she wanted each candy to go. She was really proud of them :)

Our last night living in the hotel, when my mom was visiting. This is how we ate meals each day! Thanks to John's boss, we were on the top floor and got free breakfast and dinner in the concierge lounge every day!! The meals were nice, but living in a hotel with a toddler was no picnic.

Christmas! She loves music :)

January

"Snow Day" at the new house. Since we never see snow in San Diego, our community had some trucked in for a neighborhood party.

Makaia's new buddy, Gibson, from across the street.

Helping Mommy get ready to paint the master bedroom. It's now complete and I have already told John that the downstairs is going to be professionally done. I'm not picking up another paint brush! HA. Painting Makaia's room and our room nearly did me in.

Reading to Elmo. It's so funny to listen to her talk to her animals!!!
