Santa made an early visit to the Mautz's

Santa is so busy this time of year, but decided to come to the Mautz house a little early; And we didn't mind at all! Ansley absolutely loved the Pottery Barn Chair she got, she jumped right in. She really didn't know what to do with all of her new things, and when it was all over she ended up sitting and playing with her $1 fake fruit, go figure!

i hate when mommy puts these stupid things on my head...

This is one of my favorite pics of Ansley, just sitting and drinking her milk

Breakfast with Santa

Today we had breakfast with Santa at our church. There was great food, and we finally had a chance for Ansley to meet Santa. Lets just say she was not fond of him at all, actually, she screamed!

Here is the hand off by daddy

this picture says it all...

once Mommy came to rescue me from Santa I was much better

watching others dance and sing Christmas carols

still watching while making my duck face :)

Aunt Kelly and Madison stayed for a couple of days after the baptism. It was fun having them around. We shopped and they joined us for our music class on Tuesday. Madison had a great time dancing around with the other little kids.

Madison and Ansley are so cute together, Madison gives Ansley lots of hugs (a little too tight some times) and Ansley loves to give kisses. They would just chase each other around the house. They definitely wore eachother out! But they played really good together and had lots of silly conversations and laughs.

Thanks for staying around to play with us Aunt Kelly & Madison. Can't wait to see you in 2 weeks for Christmas!

Me & My Cous..

Ansley and Madison's favorite thing to do was to dance to this Stuffed Moose that we have that sings "We wish you a Merry Christmas Moose", it is too cute! They just jump up and down.

Ansley's Baptism

We had a great weekend with our family. All the family came into town for Ansley's Baptism on Sunday. We were really nervous about how she was going to do since Saturday was a very rough day for Ansley. But she suprised us all and did so good, she just looked around at everyone as the pastor walked her around introducing her to the church. After the service we had a nice lunch back at our house before everyone had to head back home.

It was such a speacial weekend thanks to Nana, Pop-Pop, Grandmommy, Aunt Kelly, Uncle Brent, Madison, Pops, Mimi, Uncle Boo, and Chelsea. Thank you for making the trip up to see Ansley get baptized and thank you for all your help.

Here are some pics and a video of Ansley being baptized. She wore the same dress Madison was baptized in.

Here is a video of Ansley being baptized, it is a little hard to see because Rob and I were standing in front of my sister who was filming it.

The top to the Wrapping Paper container.... I am practicing my balancing act. Maybe I will be a gymnast?

Christmas in Davidson

Christmas in Davidson is 3 days of festivities which include sleigh rides, a live nativity scene, Santa, hayrides, carolers, and a Christmas parade. Because most of the events were at night we weren't able to make it; but we did attend the Christmas parade which was today. It was the perfect weather to sit and watch a parade.... We are excited for next year, Ansley will be at a great age where she can enjoy all the other festivities.

These are pictures of Ansley patiently waiting for the parade to begin :)

Ansley is telling Daddy enough with the pictures... I am busy watching the parade
