Weekend Wrap-Up

This was actually last weekend, but I never posted about it so I am going to include it in this weekend.  Last Sunday, Mallory went to her first parade!  & although I wasn't too excited about it (because of the freezing weather) Mallory really enjoyed it.

Here she is with her Grandma

She really seemed to like the firetrucks!

She didn't seem to mind the cold weather at all.  I was a much bigger baby about it!

I just loved her little outfit :)  Right now the only jeans that fit her really good are the Gap skinny jean & I'm obsessed.  She has the same pair in three different colors.  This is the same outfit as our Christmas card photo.

Now onto this weekend.  On Friday, my uncle and aunt came home from Georgia & stayed the weekend with my parents.  We had a big family dinner with them on Friday night.  I didn't get any pictures.  Mallory is at this stage where she hardly lets anyone hold her & I hate it because my family from Georgia rarely get to see her & they wanted to love on her so bad but she wouldn't let them :(

This is Saturday morning bed head.  This is what Mallory's hair looks like most every morning.  It is a time, ha!

Saturday at lunch, we had our annual Andrews' Family Christmas party.  We are a HUGE family (my grandaddy had 10 brothers & sisters!). 

Mallory had a good time playing with her cousin Tyler Kate.  They really liked hugging & trying to steal each others paci!

It is very seldom that Mallory lets Uncle Joey get some love.  I guess she was feeling generous for a second :)

Getting in one last hug before it was time to go!

Saturday night, I went to Trish's Ornament Exchange Party.  This is her 4th year having it & it has turned into quite the event!  We always have a great time with some great food.  Another plus, is seeing her gorgeous house decorated so beautifully for Christmas!

Here is her MASSIVE tree.  I love it! 

Her cute decorations.  Every time I ask her where she gets something her reply is, "The Dollar Store."  Somehow, I don't have her eye or her luck when it comes to decorating on a dime, haha.

After church today, we had a Christmas party with Granny Pat's side of the family.  We always have a good time & play lots of games.  This is a terrible picture, but here is everyone playing one of the games.  Patrick's moms cousins boyfriend (did you follow all that?) says he is a 'semi-pro' at photography & gave me some good tips today with my camera.  (Which were not put to use with this picture, haha)    

Mallory ended up taking a nap through most of this party but here are some of her little cousins that were there, Evan & Lila.  They are so cute & so well behaved!

& lastly here is my little mean girl right before bedtime!  Good night yall!!

Also, I am thinking it is time for the paci TO GO!  It has become such a chore to keep up with it & now that Mallory is talking so much, she talks around the paci which just isn't cool.  I'm thinking we are going to try to go cold turkey with it next weekend.  Do the 2 people who read my blog have any suggestions or tips for losing the paci for good?  TIA!
