Gifts!

Maggie was especially spoiled this Christmas! She didn't make it through all her gifts on Saturday night because she was too tired to open everything, but she finished in the morning.



A Princess 4-Wheeler from Uncle Trevor and Kristin!


She knew exactly what to do with it before we even took it out of the box"


Dare devil!


It is meant for 2 yrs old and up, but Maggie had no trouble figuring out how to press the button to make it go. Steering is an issue, but who needs to steer!


Enjoying a quick snack with Uncle Trevor! So hungry after all of that 4-wheeling!


Enjoying a recordable book with Daddy! This is a tradition now for Grandma Joy and Grandpa Don to record a story for Maggie!


And Maggie has sure been into dolls lately!

Maggie's Rother Christmas

Maggie celebrated her first Christmas of the year with the another crew. An annual tradition now, we get together the first weekend of December with Grandpa Don and Grandma Joy in Annandale. Trevor, Kristin, Sue, Gat Grandma and Great Grandma Rother, Kyle, and Darice all show up for a good time!

Here is Maggie with Uncle Trevor!



She has gotten so used to Daddy taking pictures of her that she often gives the camera quizzical looks...


The Rother clan that could make it! Kyle and Darice are being naughty!



Maggie after too much egg nog (ok it was just milk)!


In her Christmas Dress!


Telling Kristen and Great Grandma a good story!


So cute!


She was very good with their tree! Very curious about it though!





This is Maggie looking without touching! I guess we need to work on listening skills still!

Halloween

Maggie's first REAL Halloween! We knew it would be interesting to try and get Maggie out trick or treating at a few places because she goes to bed so darn early (6:00)! But we decided to make an attempt!


Our little flower.


On the car ride over to our friend Nancy Flom's house, Maggie fell asleep!


So we drove around for a half hour to give her a good cat nap!


Once we got to Nancy's house, Maggie was awake and ready to visit.





Maggie and Mommy trick or treating in the Flom's neighborhood!


And Daddy too!


All-in-All, it was a fun night! Maggie even made it to 7:30! Hopefully next year she will have a little bit later bed time!

Crazy Hair Day!

Daddy loves dress up days at school! This one was crazy hair day! I might have gone a little overboard for a toddler! :)

Visiting Auntie Heather!

Auntie Heather came to visit from Colorado and we got to hang out! Maggie hasn't seen her since Christmas last year!

I have a feeling this will show up on a Christmas Card...






Auntie Heather spoils Maggie!


What is wrong with Daddy?


Maggie Loves Dogs!





A glimpse of what is to come some day!


Maggie will be a great big sister!





Silly Auntie Heather!








Maggie's first icee!

Maggie's Birthday Extravaganza Part Four

The aftermath!





Her cute The Hungry Caterpillar dress we got on etsy!



Instead of cards, we asked everyone to give books! We really stocked Maggie's shelves. She loves books!


And then she decided to take a break from unwrapping gifts when she got this stuffed animal from Uncle Trevor and Kristen.










Uncle Jamie was bored with presents!

Maggie's Birthday Extravaganza Part 3

Grandma's Chatting it up!



We made cute little Hungry Caterpillar hats! I think the kids really loved wearing the...well, at least Jacey is a good sport about it!


Clapping for Grandma!




We had everyone fill out a sheet of paper with hopes and deals for Maggie! Some took it VERY seriously...some, not so much!





And now her BIG cake!


She doesn't love being dirty...so she kept trying to wipe it all off.



Now she is getting into it!


Lovin on Grandma
