The toddler bed was getting too small for our growing girl - she started waking up in the middle of the night crying because she'd get stuck in an uncomfortable position and wind up in our bed. She'd point to it and say "too small, I'm too big for that!" so we decided to make her a Big Girl room for her birthday.
It's rare that we get accumulating snow down here in the South, so even though you could see the grass poking up through the dusting, we took full advantage of an early dismissal from work and school to PLAY.
We had a cozy night in for New Year's Eve, since I am still recovering from my gallbladder surgery, but we rang in the New Year with a little homemade fun - a photobooth! Blair insisted that she would stay up late to watch "the big ball," so we kept busy posing with all the props and playing with the remote shutter on my camera. Mike grilled some amazing steaks for us and we celebrated with lots of hugs and kisses when Blair made it to 11:00PM CST to watch the live broadcast of Times Square. Here's to 2017 - can't wait to see what's in store for us!
I'm a hard-working mama to a feisty, giggly toddler and the wife of a baseball-loving public servant. I have a passion for photography and love capturing all of our little moments as a busy family of three. Life with the McClanahans is always an adventure!
