My first Santa Claus visit!

Santa comes to our house....

Baylee was so excited on Christmas morning, she couldn't believe that Santa Claus came to her house and left her goodies! She loved everything and thought the Christmas tree was so beautiful! I think she would have Christmas everyday if she could. Her little face lit up when we woke her and took her in the den, she didn't know what to think! Bryan and I had the best time with her, she really makes you realize how lucky and special we are!

I can't believe Santa came!

This is so much fun!

I think I have mastered it already!

Christmas Day at Sudo and Grumpie's house

Sudo and Grumpie's house

That afternoon we visited Sudo, Grumpie and Uncle William at their house, we opened gifts with them and had Sudo's traditional Christmas chili, it was fabulous! Poor Baylee, she was such a good sport and loved visiting with her family, but we could tell that she was starting to feel bad, it was the beginning of a horrible cold. She and her Uncle William enjoyed playing with all of their toys and trying to figure out which ones were their favorites! It was a really nice day!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Day at Mimi's house

Mimi's house

Christmas Day we had brunch at Mimi's house and opened our presents afterwards. We had so much fun and Baylee really enjoyed watching everyone tear into their presents, leaving all of the colored paper for her to play with. She probably enjoyed going to the door and talking with the doggy the most, they stared at each other forever! We loved seeing everyone and getting to spend time with our family on this very special holiday!

Christmas Eve 2007

We spent Christmas Eve with Bryan's parent at their house in Lexington. It was very nice,

we had brunch and then opened all of Baylee's gifts, she loved all the pretty paper and her presents were nice too! She had a blast and has decided that Christmas should be every day!

Christmas Cards 2007

Getting ready for our "Big Christmas photo!" Baylee was going to be the star of the Causey Christmas card this year, since we were living all over the place, we decided to go to Charleston one weekend and take the picture in front of the Charleston Place Hotel tree, they always have such pretty decorations. We started out our day with a big 'ol bath in the sink! From there it was to the tree and the challenge of getting our little monkey sit still began....

Clean as a whistle! Nice mohawk!

What a beautiful tree!

"No! Baylee don't touch the ornaments!"

"PLEASE!"

Ta Da!

Clemson and Columbia, South Carolina

We spent the first part of the Thanksgiving in Clemson visiting Bryan's family at Aunt Carol and Uncle Terrell's house. We had a nice time visiting with everyone and this was Baylee's first time in Clemson and some of her family hadn't met her yet, so they were all very excited to see her. Then we travelled back to Columbia to spend the rest of Thanksgiving with my family. Stephanie and my Dad had everyone over to their house for a big dinner and it was nice for Baylee to be able to visit with all of her family! We really enjoyed our holiday!
