Goodbye to the pacifier--COLD TURKEY! Milla was a pacifier LOVER!!! Our Pediatrician gave us the OK to let her continue to use the pacifier only in her crib until the age of 2 years old. So, Milla turned 2 and then Faith was born 1 week later--so, in the craziness of things we didn't want to take it away. I was hesitant about going through the long process of weaning her from her pacifier...so, it was much to my surprise when I came home from work on a Sat. in early December and Brandon reported that Milla had stopped using her pacifier!! Brandon told Milla she was getting big and he asked her if she wanted to stop using it and she said YES and helped gather ALL (and she had a lot in her crib as seen in the picture!!) her pacifiers and put them up--and that was the end of the pacifier!! WOW!!! Every time I hear someone say "cold turkey" I think of one of my favorite Hank Williams Jr. songs "Old Habits"...one verse says "I chew lifesavers to help me get off cigarettes, but you know for your love I ain't found no lifesavers yet. and I've gone cold turkey, cause there's not even one kiss a day. Old habits like you are hard to break"
We got to spend time with all of our families around Christmastime. We went to Christmas Eve service with my Mom (Cappie got sick and couldn't come!!) at Church of the Apostles. The music was great! A highlight for all of us was Milla belting out "Oh Holy Night" along with the soloist during the service. She didn't know the words---but attempted all the high notes just the same! It was so sweet!
Cute Tree surrounded by gifts with fun surprises at my Mom and Cappie's house.
My Mom is such a good gift wrapper! She makes everything look pretty--always adds little touches that make for the perfect addition.

My Dad and Grandma Dunnington came over on Christmas morning. Here is a picture of Grandma holding Faith. Grandma looks forward to any opportunity to have this little lady in her arms!
Brandon's family came over for dinner on Christmas evening.
Brandon and Me....had to include this one because we laugh that we never have pictures of the two of us together anymore--we are constantly taking pictures of the girls or one of us with the girls.
Brandon, Mr. Crim, Granddaddy, and Brian with Milla
We got to get together with my high school friends to celebrate Christmas and decorate gingerbread houses. Here is Milla really concentrating on her decorating!

Made our 3rd annual trip to Bass Pro Shops to sit on Santa's lap!!! We drove an hour to get there and when we arrived they said "sorry, we are out of Bass Passes"...so we weren't going to be able to sit on Santa's lap!!!!! Milla was going to be heart broken! Somehow Brandon was able to sweet talk one of the elves and they gave us a Bass Pass!!! Thank Goodness! He saved the day!
Brandon and bright-eyed Milla as we waited in line for our turn.
can't resist those chubby cheeks!
