Bye Bye Orange Beach

After the LSU game on Saturday we drove back to Lafayette. We had lunch with everyone on Sunday and took pictures for Maw Maw's Christmas cards. Aunt Jeanne took a couple pictures of Madeline while we waited on everyone else to get ready.

Christmas Cookies

Friday while mommy was shopping she saw some Christmas cookie cutter and thought that would be a great thing for the girls to do during the LSU game on Saturday afternoon. So we stripped Madeline down and let her go to town!All three girls had a lot of fun doing this!Madeline loved the cookies!What a mess...but she enjoyed every minute of it!
Madeline was on a sugar high afterwards!

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!!

A bit tired!

Yesterday afternoon after Madeline's nap we went back out to the beach. We just happened to run into Uncle Lou on the way down, so he came out with us.Madeline was not as into the water as she was that morning. She was a little tired!So we decided to go back to the pool and splash pad. Madeline made a friend while we were up there...a little girl named Lilly!
We didn't stay out too long b/c Madeline was sooo tired. That night she was sleeping before 7pm and slept until a little after 7 the next morning!

Playing in the Water!

After the beach we took Madeline to the indoor pool. She showed off all that she has been learning at swimming lessons. Daddy throwing Madeline into the air!

Madeline loves her daddy!

Playing at the splash pad

This water was a little warmer, but still cold and she loved it!

Madeline LOVES the water!!!!!

Aunt Michele and Uncle Jim came out to meet us and to play with Madeline.

Madeline didn't really like the water in her face!

This was the coldest pool of them all. I don't think daddy really wanted to go in, but Madeline did!!!!!

She was shaking but would not get out of the pool. Madeline was having too much fun!

Don't know how she is smiling that much when the pool was that cold! Madeline is such a happy baby girl!

Sticking her tongue out at Gi!

Madeline played out there for over 2 hours and never once had a melt down. She LOVES the water and the sand!
