Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town

But he left Miss Claus at our house for the time being.  haha!  This little dress/outfit is so darn cute I can just barely stand it. 

This is the sweet dress that Bailey got in the mail lasat week from Pap-paw.  Do you know how hard it is to convince an 11 1/2 month old to keep the santa hat on for just one cute picture?  Judging by the looks of the only two I got with the hat on at all, it is pretty hard!  She has learned to wrestle and twist and turn to get her way. 

I think this one is cute.  It looks like she is about to leap out at me.  But Sid was acually trying to hold her still and she wrestled free from him and this is how she "landed". 

MISCHIEVOUS!  MISCHIEVOUS!  MISCHIEVOUS!

I thought maybe her stocking would be a distraction enough to leave the tree alone, leave the hat on, be still, look at the camera and smile.  But, alas, that's an awful lot to ask from a nearly 1 year old. 

So......this is the best I could get today!

Hopefully when it's not pouring down rain outside we can go out in the brisk sunshine and get a few more, and maybe the breeze will be enough to make her leave her hat on.

Bailey wants to say thank you so much to her Pap-paw Self for getting her this dress and sending it all the way to Mississippi.  She also wants to say thank you for sending something that makes her mama want to kiss her a million and ten times....because she likes kisses....and hugs too!
