Exhausted

This sweet girl needed a car nap. She was worn out from being sick, traveling and the excitement and responsibility of becoming a big sister.

Eliza Becomes A Big Sister

We're Now a Family of Four! Eliza got her Christmas wish this year - a new baby. It's a "brudder" (as she says).
Griffin King Watkins was born on 12-12-12. We made the long drive from Florida to Alabama on December 27th to pick the little guy up.
Eliza's already a great helper - wanting to hold, feed and kiss the baby.
She thoroughly inspected him and declared that he smelled like macaroni and was surprised to discover he doesn't have any teeth yet.

Eliza really wanted this electronic doggie this year and Santa delivered. She spent all morning walking it around the house before taking "GoGo" into her bed for a nap.

Today, as part of her 5 year checkup, Eliza got her ears tested. The doctors said her hearing is fine, but Mommy and Daddy aren't so sure sometimes.

Holiday Photo Shoot

Here's a slideshow of the fun family pictures we snapped in our photo studio (living room) just over a week ago. Look at Eliza - this kid has some personality!

Eliza's Extended Birthday


Eliza's BDay at School, originally uploaded by littlelostrobot.

Even though her birthday was over, Eliza got one last treat when Mommy and Daddy visited her classroom on Monday. They brought along a Spongebob cake (a present from Aunt Karey) - which was a HUGE hit with all her little pals.

An End to the Perfect Birthday!

Eliza had quite a day! She had an ice skating birthday party with her friends and family. Then she went out to lunch for pizza, followed by a much needed nap. She woke up, opened presents, and then went on a drive to Disney. She spent the night going on all her favorite Magic Kingdom rides with Grandpa and Grandma. She then ended the evening with a balloon and cotton candy. Whew!

Loving our Birthday Girl!

Little Thanksgiving Turkey

Eliza was wearing her annual festive hat, which signals the start of Thanksgiving dinner.

Chatting with Santa!

Today Eliza had a few minutes with Santa to make her case as to why she deserved a bunch of presents. We have no idea what she was whispering to him, but was probably very sweet.

Happy Holidays from the Mall!

Eliza waited patiently in line for her moment to chat with Santa.

We had to put on some heavy parkas in order to check out ICE! "Merry Madagascar" at Gaylord Palms. It was just nine degrees inside. Brrrr.
