We had even more fun this December so it called for another blog post. We attended Elena's first birthday... her mom Emily is my best friend. She had a snowflake-themed birthday. Daddy and I loved our birthday hats!
One of the other guests (Abigail) brought this pig... we fell in love and hung out for the entire party.
The Christmas Card photo that never was:
Mom took me to several places many times in numerous outfits to get my Christmas Card photo. Here are some of the pictures that never made the final cut:
I was practicing my scowling in this one.

Daddy didn't think the ones with the hat were Christmas-y enough.
Mmmmmm... this coat tastes like Christmas cookies.
At this point I decided to be afraid of Christmas trees.
I don't think the town of Cornelius will mind if I just take this one home with me.
We also went to see the mechanical bears' orchestra in Charlotte. I took my good friend Elena for a ride.
You guys have got to see these bears!
We even thought about trying another pajama picture.
Granna sent me this sweet little number.
Tutus put me in a very serious mood.
The obligatory Leggat family top-of-the-stairs photo... I wasn't too thrilled.
I got over it real quickly.
Please excuse the bed head.
Christmas aftermath
We visited Dad's family in Durham. The good ol' internet gave us the free up-grade and we ended up at the Caroline Inn (better known as the Carolina Inn). I was so excited to stay in the hotel they named after me. This is picture of me calling my peeps... "Hey guys, you'll never believe where I'm staying tonight."
Here is the side-by-side comparison of my two pictures with Santa. I think I've really perfected the "blank stare ahead" look I use only for the big guy. This year I thought I'd throw in the jaw drop too.
A few more things:
I forgot to post this picture of Daddy and me at Thanksgiving. Uncle Graham took the picture on his fancy new iPhone. He has an app that switched our heads. I think Daddy and I look more alike than ever! Now you know what I would look like with a little more hair and Daddy would look like with a little less.
This is a video of me back in early November. I'm practicing my mad DJ skillz.
This is a video of me on Christmas Eve in my new tutu. Sometimes tutus do not make me so serious.

I think you should've used the PJ photo for the card and had it printed at Sir Mix-a-lot's Photoshop. Too cute. She's perfect, huh?
One more thing... A baby that noodles that well may end up at App State rather than Carolina. You better make her pledge those allegiances soon!
I must admit... Daniel and I are pretty lame. We had to look up "noodle" in an online slang dictionary. For those of you as out of touch as we are it means to improvise, jam on an instrument; eg: That baby can really noodle on the keyboard.
she can still go to carolina so long as she gets a place in carrboro. my house was surrounded by noodlers. she may be too pretty for that though.
Spoken like a true Auntie... who "love her niece ver' much!"
Caroline,
First of all, you are the best writer! I love reading your wisdom as much as I love admiring your adorable photos. (And your beautiful Christmas card photo is still on our fridge. Thank you very much for sending that!)
Secondly, I can't get over your amazing rhythm! <> You have some serious moves, girl. Thank you to your Mommy for sharing what "noodle" means in the musical context. I actually lived in Carrboro and enjoyed the local music scene. That term was not in use then, though. Goes to show you how old I'm getting...
Hugs!
Finally,
Finally?
I've finally lost my mind!
