Papaw and Mackenzie

This is me with my great-grandfather, Papaw Hob, when I was only 5 months old. He is Mommy's grandfather, and my Nana Phyllis' father. He passed away on Saturday, January 20th. He was 90 years old. We will miss him terribly. Thank you for all of your well wishes. They are comforting during this sad time.

Lunch at the Varsity!

Last weekend, Nanny and Papaw came to visit from Charlotte and took me, Mommy, and Great-Grandma Joyce to lunch at the Varsity. I love it when they come to visit, I get more spoiled each time!

I'm such a ham! (or maybe I'm a hot dog bun!)

Merry Christmas!!!

Here are some pictures from the Cronon's 2006 Christmas bonanza! Enjoy!
(and yes, that does say "Nuttier than a Fruitcake" on Mommy's shirt. Daddy thought it was quite fitting!)

I was so exhausted after opening gifts on Christmas Day at Grandma Joyce's house, I just had to put my new Backyardigans sleeping bag to use! It's really comfortable--I slept over an hour and a half!

Mommy caught me going up and down Grandma Joyce's hallway in my good shoes, making "CLONKING" sounds. I don't see anything wrong with it, and fortunately for me, Mommy didn't either!

My own four-wheeler!!!

Santa got me what I've wanted for so long (about 3 months!)! A Barbie four-wheeler! I was still kinda groggy from sleeping, but I was so happy to see this in front of the tree! And it had a big Uniqua pillow sitting on it, keeping the seat warm for me!

Anyone else see the resemblance between me and Mommy again? I am completely enthralled with this See'n'Say because it has farm animals, and I love farm animals!!!

I took a time-out from opening gifts to read a new book. A girl's got to have some down time!

Do ya think I'm excited?! It's Pablo and Uniqua for the bathtub; of course I'm excited!!!!

Christmas Eve, Part 1

Early on Christmas Eve, we ate lunch and opened presents with Nana, Papaw, and Aunt 'Chelle and Uncle Eric and my four cousins, Michael, Stephen, Christopher, and Kaitlyn. We were so busy opening gifts that this is the only good picture Mommy got. Good thing Stephen and I are so cute together!

Christmas Eve, Part 2

Nanny, Papaw, and Aunt Beth came down from Charlotte to spend Christmas Eve with me, Mommy, and Daddy. Here I am in front of our tree before opening gifts with them that night. Wow! I must've been a good girl!

Here are just two of the cute pictures that were taken. One is of me in a box, and the other one is of me with my elephant bookbag I saw in Gatlinburg. That Santa sure is an amazing guy, huh?!

By the end of the night, I was more than happy to let Daddy and Mommy help me open my gifts. Nobody ever told me it would be such hard work!

Playtime

While Mommy and Daddy were wrapping gifts, cleaning, and trying to get ready for Christmas, I sat down with my neat writing tablet that Emma gave me for Christmas. It sure was a lifesaver while Mommy and Daddy were so busy! Thanks, Emma!
