Be still my heart!! :) She will repeat anything and everything you say, so be careful!!</li><li>She hates being in a wet or dirty diaper. I fear this could be the beginning of the dreaded potty training. She will come to me and say, "I nasty." Not my favorite thing for her to say, but it gets the point across. </li><li>Frosty!! Yes, it is after Christmas, but the girl is still obsessed with this snowman. Help!!!</li><li>Dancing!! My favorite times with her are cranking up one of Mercy Me's albums and dancing in the kitchen.

As usual, we made our rounds to see most of the family and had a blast doing so. Each year I marvel over the fact that God has allowed us to all be together again and continue to build strong bonds. He is to be praised!!<br /><br />We were elated to see the snow falling (and sticking) on Christmas morning!! We had planned to see some of Hutson's family in a nearby town but decided it was best to stay off the roads and keep Ginger B at home. While we were sad not to get to see them, I have to say that the best part of Christmas just might have been those precious hours that day that we spent as just a family of three. <br /><br />The thought of taking down the Christmas tree bums me out completely, but I have to say that I will be glad to have my house back to (somewhat) normal. I have one more week out for school, so I plan on being completely useless :) Hope your CHRISTmas was wonderful, and in case I don't get on here again this year, I hope your New Year's is fantastic!!<br /><br />WARNING: lots and lots of pictures to follow and if you aren't a close family member then you will probably lose interest two or three snapshots in!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTd9e2sUZ4-m6-9u_LMXI3STlKXTlqB4ip_7DaDISWf5CZbS2THdgFFFmFKLwt0OQds1A0p5QVsquDxVo4aZLM-vD8tzuj92XegqsGSoQlN7iRGtbFKH4g79EW0X__m2eUN7si1hipbfU/s1600/gingeranddandy.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTd9e2sUZ4-m6-9u_LMXI3STlKXTlqB4ip_7DaDISWf5CZbS2THdgFFFmFKLwt0OQds1A0p5QVsquDxVo4aZLM-vD8tzuj92XegqsGSoQlN7iRGtbFKH4g79EW0X__m2eUN7si1hipbfU/s320/gingeranddandy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555188264227878994" border="0" /></a><br />Ginger and Dandy (MeMe's new baby)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtNLrsOdoDj5iNmyVYmY2eqyZGLlghODckwLfONppWjU5iRdPqMnv9J1JXCrDUONNvKQqa8Yq022snqqpIm2nutWB2Kuzu874sCRgGkeSw3xm_Eyejf4Q9xR_XrPdiajWQ2gZ9gzx24lQ/s1600/gingersmiling_christmasmorn.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtNLrsOdoDj5iNmyVYmY2eqyZGLlghODckwLfONppWjU5iRdPqMnv9J1JXCrDUONNvKQqa8Yq022snqqpIm2nutWB2Kuzu874sCRgGkeSw3xm_Eyejf4Q9xR_XrPdiajWQ2gZ9gzx24lQ/s320/gingersmiling_christmasmorn.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555188259509072626" border="0" /></a><br />This was G's response when I asked her if she liked what Santa/Frosty brought her.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge28gef0UPVthZMpHeELSRnALO-uSvFXyzhzF9EdA8wiogm01vldHg1eqFuTxlzx50heWKNXthvVIpIeP1qp2sKdcwbF7Pka0-mktykou-dpgSu7dxIoSWYXtcw7_ai1e_ORruDDSXB2c/s1600/santatoys.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge28gef0UPVthZMpHeELSRnALO-uSvFXyzhzF9EdA8wiogm01vldHg1eqFuTxlzx50heWKNXthvVIpIeP1qp2sKdcwbF7Pka0-mktykou-dpgSu7dxIoSWYXtcw7_ai1e_ORruDDSXB2c/s320/santatoys.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555187974863414866" border="0" /></a><br />Santa came!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBw8a4nx-FYPg-CnV1HW0nDUAn1_uGHtAtbRbTyZRnW3sLWgISVbORLjk7Z6gi2ygHC1MsV_Y0tQWScgMXSnjWLQBzP3YBIN689Z1tQj-jDz9WXOlSMKhjtts7iUU8Fhyphenhypheni5SW1qXEkQf8/s1600/fordclan.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBw8a4nx-FYPg-CnV1HW0nDUAn1_uGHtAtbRbTyZRnW3sLWgISVbORLjk7Z6gi2ygHC1MsV_Y0tQWScgMXSnjWLQBzP3YBIN689Z1tQj-jDz9WXOlSMKhjtts7iUU8Fhyphenhypheni5SW1qXEkQf8/s320/fordclan.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555187966363425010" border="0" /></a><br />Ford Clan: Nikki, Tripp, Preston, Ginger, Logan, Bo, and Trace<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirB4yu3dLgfaj0bPyxCsydbVd8sjD4-4BMFBq6bX-JHWhHXxVtpvar_1nFy_xScpGVnktcOdEItZ2lqN0MR_n-gUbOs71TwL8JDYvM0fG962km70tg5e4H_FvoSlMA7Agn4u8MNnevuhk/s1600/ginger_openingpresent.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirB4yu3dLgfaj0bPyxCsydbVd8sjD4-4BMFBq6bX-JHWhHXxVtpvar_1nFy_xScpGVnktcOdEItZ2lqN0MR_n-gUbOs71TwL8JDYvM0fG962km70tg5e4H_FvoSlMA7Agn4u8MNnevuhk/s320/ginger_openingpresent.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555187957018795794" border="0" /></a><br />She was a pro when it came to ripping open the presents.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVh3gkAw081u_S1jGbmGzLcG-5OTfjkRJGD_11uZuzp-MFMC23SCUDjAJ0N_nBW41K3FN4VmKJlKS14sqa56bFcg8BoaNyoLO1Vi5lLg2UdFZl0iH3tmBZtmqh1vi08MbWpq8LgsWnSRk/s1600/ginger_sitandspin.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVh3gkAw081u_S1jGbmGzLcG-5OTfjkRJGD_11uZuzp-MFMC23SCUDjAJ0N_nBW41K3FN4VmKJlKS14sqa56bFcg8BoaNyoLO1Vi5lLg2UdFZl0iH3tmBZtmqh1vi08MbWpq8LgsWnSRk/s320/ginger_sitandspin.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555187829418810818" border="0" /></a><br />Ginger and her sit-and-spin.

Must mean one thing. I'm almost out for Christmas break, so I've neglected all important duties around the house and my classroom. It can wait, right? Surely I need to be more attentive to the blog!! <br /><br />Ginger met Santa last Friday and absolutely LOVED him!! She was completely infatuated with him until Saturday night when she saw Frosty on t.v. Now everything is Frosty this and Frosty that. I believe we've created a monster by letting her watch the old version. Don't ask me what's happening on Grey's or Desperate Housewives because I won't know since I will probably be on my 7, 845 viewing of <span style="font-style: italic;">Frosty the Snowman</span>. Lovely!! <br /><br />I hope everyone has a wonderful week! Please pray that I will find the time and patience to take a picture for our Christmas cards. I know! I know! It's December 13, and I haven't even started. Trust me; I'm well aware. I love the Christmas cards I get in the mail, but I swear this year they are mocking me because I haven't even taken a picture, much less bought stamps or addressed envelopes. It will get done. I work well under pressure and hold the title for "Procrastinator Extraordinaire...Who Still Gets the Job Done!!" Just ask Hutson!!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnvLs_hibM1ByhDd8iwvqfCp-JkwugCqmYX7qMWd7LmAnto1Dg1_Wp3PxFPMCOc7NmMbJgnYl69l0zZojq8QoxmKP5KbHe9l5oCirPnKg0KVS-cLZfKN4jPGxu7zlauxn4lesL6x0v_0s/s1600/gingerandsanta_1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnvLs_hibM1ByhDd8iwvqfCp-JkwugCqmYX7qMWd7LmAnto1Dg1_Wp3PxFPMCOc7NmMbJgnYl69l0zZojq8QoxmKP5KbHe9l5oCirPnKg0KVS-cLZfKN4jPGxu7zlauxn4lesL6x0v_0s/s320/gingerandsanta_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550379274876310386" border="0" /></a><br />True Love!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwiz6M9fGEacAhiLzBUxMSna1wDpxZuRHZCg3yzZYAj_yUgsidQMkKaF-sRuFgnvathrdAzuBeJVDA7AISlXRuJ8X787n4FWw1uGwKOWVFnQS3krrwN1kbHmMuEYTNFtDzKaQHUIN2umc/s1600/gingerandsanta_2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwiz6M9fGEacAhiLzBUxMSna1wDpxZuRHZCg3yzZYAj_yUgsidQMkKaF-sRuFgnvathrdAzuBeJVDA7AISlXRuJ8X787n4FWw1uGwKOWVFnQS3krrwN1kbHmMuEYTNFtDzKaQHUIN2umc/s320/gingerandsanta_2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550379276982592050" border="0" /></a><br />I can't explain this face, but she made it in every "forward-facing" picture I took.<br /></div>Ford Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10056660372091847093noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1332037418534176039.post-36502495046703279072010-12-11T16:46:00.001-08:002010-12-11T17:09:07.376-08:00Catching Up<div><div style="text-align: center;">I've decided to quit my job and blog full-time about my child. Ha!! Don't I wish!! It seems like we are constantly on the go, and I've been convicted lately of not slowing down to enjoy the moment. Christmas is going to be such a wonderful time this year because Ginger is somewhat comprehending things. She loves Santa Claus, Christmas trees, and lights. I recently found a book about the true meaning behind Christmas and am going to start reading it to her every night. She has the cutest shirt with an appliquéd nativity scene (thanks, <a href="http://cumminskids.blogspot.com/">Lindsey</a>!), and she is so sweet and innocent when she points to the manger and says "baby Jesus."
