Weebles and Church

I really don't know what the fascination is with Weebles but Virginia really likes hers.  They are a toy that she goes to on a regular basis to play with.  I've found all her Weebles sets at garage sales.  She had 2 sets and got another one for Christmas and it has been just as big a hit as the other 2. 

Church
Last night Virginia set all the Weebles out and put 1 Weeble up on one of the Weeble buildings and said that they were at church.  You can just catch her saying church at the very beginning of the video.  Then she names a bunch of animals.  Then she tells me to put down the video camera. 
I hate that she's like that because after I put the video camera down she handed me several of her stuffed animals and told me to sing and she "conducted."  She moved her arms the way a conductor does and I sang Away In A Manger.  It was hilarious because she was so serious about conducting.  I suppose I need to figure out some secret way to video tape her. 

Here are some more Christmas videos.  They aren't super exciting.  But I thought Chris would enjoy seeing some of Christmas morning. 
*The dollhouse is Pottery Barn and I found at a yard sale for less than $5 and it is in brand new condition.  And  Virginia uses it to park her cars!
And I couldn't leave out Bootsie and her Christmas toy. 

Pillow Pet

Just one of the MANY presents that has been a HUGE hit.  I would not have thought a pillow pet would be so popular. 

I am going to be the mean Mommy and drag Virginia away from her toys and get out of the house today!  We haven't gone anywhere since last Friday and I'm going crazy. 

I'm slow with getting the christmas pictures edited but they are coming!

Christmas Videos

Here are a few Christmas videos.  For some reason I thought putting a recorder in Virginia's stocking would be cute.  I forgot that she has a slight obsession with Little Einsteins and they have music and musical instruments in their videos.  So "late" last night we were in the bed and she was watching Little Einstein's and tooting that dang recorder along with the video and telling me all about it.  I was trying not to laugh!!  She calls it her trumpet and sometimes her flute.  In this video she is asking to hear another song she likes called cows, cows, cows. 

I've got several of her talking with her cars.  So this will be the first of several.  I haven't uploaded the others yet.  Time to try and get the house put back together!  It's mess of wrapping paper and packaging!

Merry Christmas Part 2

Virginia and I have truly had a great Christmas so far.  We still have to open presents with Grandma and Grandpa so the fun isn't over yet!  Virginia has played non stop today with her new toys.  I've taken a ton of pictures so get ready for picture overload.
We'll start with church yesterday.  Here are some more of Virginia in the program.  At First Pres. they do a children's Christmas Eve service where they put out costumes and the children can be an angel or shepherd.  Well Virginia freaked out a bit when she saw the costumes and pretty much started crying before we even got into the sanctuary.  But she knew that at some point she was supposed to go up on the "stage."  We got there a tad early and there were other kids up on stage looking at the manger scene.  Once the program started she decided she wanted to dance and wander up and down the center aisle of the church.  nice....so finally we got to go up on stage which she did fine with UNTIL it was time to get off the stage.  Then she started crying, loudly.  All that was left was a prayer and the benediction and she did all she could to escape me and get back up on the stage.  I didn't get many really good pictures because it's hard to wrangle her and take pictures too. 

Merry Christmas

Here are 2 pictures that a friend of mine took today after church.  I'll write more later but Virginia wasn't exactly on her best behavior for church.

Then this afternoon she opened a few gifts from Chris and I.  She got some more of the Cars cars.  She was so excited. 

And you can see in the last picture she is gathering up her stash and heading upstairs to where the rest of her cars are to play.  :)
