Woody was a bust, but a sneak preview of Christmas pics...

Sooo...the girl who loves Woody was not so thrilled to meet the Real Deal last night.  In her defense, she had only napped for 45 minutes the entire day.  She has typically been taking a 3 hour afternoon nap lately, so 45 minutes wasnt gonna cut it.  She was happy and silly and almost delusional...she just was not interested in hugging the 8 ft tall Real Life Woody....eh, it happens. :)

The snow was a HUGE hit, even if Woody wasnt her favorite. :) She just kept jumping up and down and yelling "SNOOOW!!!!" over and over. She loooooved it! 

And Whitney's bow collection is growing by leaps and bounds lately, so I had to figure out a new bow hanger.  My mom gave me these letters, but they were painted funky, crazy colors that didnt match anything in her room. So last weekend, I painted layer after layer on these letters until they were finally covered in pink and white :) Not perfect, but at least I have room to grow the bow garden :) 

And this was one of the shirts Summer and I tackled today in our attempts to use our fun new sewing machines :) Cute, right? And soooooo much easier than we ever imagined! (I still need to clip the threads between the letters, but you get the idea....its freakin' cute.) :)

And a sneaky preview of some of the pics we took yesterday at my parents' and today in our neighborhood. She is seriously the happiest kid I know....which makes me the happiest mommy YOU know :) 

(Mac's camera...too sunny out, but good smile :))

Too sunny...

And tonight, Summer was fabulous enough to come snap a ton of pics of us in an attempt to get a jump on this year's Christmas card photo. I cant possibly pick a favorite! :)  Eric was rushing to get home from work before the sun set, so while we waited, Summer snapped some pics of me and Whitney....they melt my heart a little bit.  

Come give me a BIG HUG!!

SILLY girl :) 

Had to say "HI!" to the moon!

More hugs...the BEST!

This might be my new favorite pic of all time....but its a toss-up.

Cute, right? The Christmas card pic is even BETTER!

Close...but not THE ONE.

We started trying to entertain Whitney to get her to come sit in our laps after she wandered off....."See, watch Whitney! BIG HUGS for DADDY!! Come sit with us!!"

She just thought it was time to show off her dance skills :) 

"Walk like an Egyptian...."

Whitney Bass is SOOOOO big!!!

Cute smile...wrong direction.....ALMOST the One. 

Woulda been happy with this one...but The One is EVEN BETTER!

Again...coulda worked as the card pic, but The One we picked is even BETTER! :) 

What's that? You want to see The One?? Well you'll just have to wait to get it in your mailbox next month :)
