Our Fourth Christmas Together

It's hard to believe that this was our 4th Christmas with Megan.  Sure, the time is flying by so fast that some weeks I'm not even sure what day it is, but mostly, it feels like she has been a part of our family forever.  And I still vividly recall that magical New Year's Eve day 4 years ago when she flew (literally, on a jumbo jet) home to become a part of our family.  My life was forever changed the moment my eyes locked in on that face of hers.

Now, she's four years old and she thinks she's 14.  She yells at her brothers, runs around the neighborhood playing with her friends and thinks she's smarter than her mom and dad (I'll give her that one!).  She doesn't want to go to bed at night and she doesn't want me to get older because "old people die."  Her favorite foods are candy, chocolate and candy canes! And she can easily put away 20 candy canes at a christmas party. No kidding, she just eats them one right after another!  I think the proof is evident in these holiday photos...................

Notice the red candy cane and the red lips?

That was probably her 14th one. 

Keep in mind, sugar makes her act wild.........

Look what happens when we try to take a nice family photo?

Nice red tongue Megan! 

And check out her leg.  She can't even hold it straight!

That's our sweet little princess alright (buzzed up on sugar)!!!!!

Better luck next year!
