My Grand Cherin continued...

Saturday evening I got to take Shelby to see her first Nutcracker. It was wonderful!! I hope that this is the first of many years to come. Can't wait to take Rea with us next year.

So I have my camera, of course, and I tell Shelby to smile and let me take her picture. This is what I get...

I have no idea where all this posing comes from.
But it drives me crazy.

Um...
But sometimes I can get some cute pictures out of her. She loves her picture taken but really doesn't like to sit still long enough for me to get very many.


When I showed her this picture I asked her what she was doing with her fingers? She tells me she is posing. What???


FINALLY a precious pose.

When I was getting her ready to go that evening she tells me that she is going to be 4 years old in January. I say I know! and Rea will be 2 years old in February. In turn she says, and I quote, "March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December. That's the months of the year!" To say the least I was shocked. I mean come on, she's 3 years old! I knew she knew the days of the week. She learned them last year in pre-school. But that was the first I've heard the months. We had to go right then and tell Pop Pop.

He was surprised too and said I guess she really is learning something at school.

I can't wait until Christon shares the picture of the girls sitting on Santa's lap. It is to cute. Shelby and Reagan had on these matching dresses.

I'm sorry yall, I just love being a "gigi" to these little girls.

Merry Christmas!

Now Rea has the Crenshaw - Barlow blue eyes and Shelby has the Smith brown eyes. Grandma Garnetta Valentine Padgett has the beautiful olive easy to skin and Grandpa Carlos has white sunburn skin. Those two girls do not look like sisters at all - but look at Mama Christon and her two sisters.

They are sure precious!

Bunches of hugs, Love and Prayers, mama
