More Painting

I love to paint. This time Mommy (as I am now calling her, Mama is for babies) and I tried out watercolors. So much fun!

Big Girl Bed!

My big girl bed arrived today. I was so excited that I had to immediately take a nap on it and couldn't wait to sleep in it tonight! Mama and Dada think I look sooooo small in just a twin bed!

Merry Christmas!

I was so excited to wake up and find that Santa came and left presents for me!!!! I loved my bicycle and my fish, Bruce (after the shark in Finding Nemo). I also got a Nemo backpack!
My new ride. I insisted on wearing the helmet and the backpack.

My Christmas outfit! Ta Da!

Christmas Cheer

We have lots of fun Christmas decorations up. The snowmen are my favorite!

And my very own Christmas tree...in MY room!

Twins?

People tell Mama all the time that I look like Violet Affleck...this picture really shows the uncanny similarity! This was taken while we were in Virginia the day we left...70s and sunny! I went on the beach and got to play on the playground!

Virginia is for....

After a long build up of anticipation, I got to go on a plane! When it landed, we were in Virginia. We got to visit with Aunt Mimi, Uncle Joey, and my cousin Claire. I had so much fun playing with Claire. I can't wait to see her again!

Shh....

I love reading and snuggling with my Dada. Only he will do.

"Painting" Cookies

Grammie Paula and Grampa Don had us over today for cookie decorating (though, I still think it should be called cookie painting). I had so much fun eating lots of frosting and cookies. Then we had an early celebration for Grampa Don's birthday with pizza, cake, and ice cream. I got all sugared up!
Starting to decorate....

One of my beautiful creations!

Happy (early) Birthday Grampa Don!

Santa Parade

Today, I was so excited I couldn't even nap. I kept singing and saying "Ho, Ho, Ho". I was so excited because I was going to see the Santa Day Parade! We met up with Mitch, Baby Rachel, Deb, and Andy! We watched Santa and Mrs. Claus come into the harbor on the Coast Guard boat and then parade up to the tree. There were lots of police cars, 2 marching bands, Elmo and Dora there! I had so much fun but wished it had not been raining!

Decorating the Tree

This morning the branches looked perfect and we got to decorate the tree....finally!
Picking out a perfect ornament...

Hanging it up....

The finished tree!

The Perfect Tree

We went to get our Christmas Tree today. I had so much fun helping Mama and Dada pick one out. I also got to eat some yummy chocolate chip cookies!
Look how small I am (I couldn't look up because of the sun)!

Helping Dada pull the sled and saw. Note my coat is still on....

Coat off..I was too hot. But not too cool for Dada's sunglasses. This is me with a "baby" Christmas tree..just my size (we didn't get this one).

This is when the paparazzi was attacking me and before I lost my patience with having my picture taken.

Heading back in with no tree....

Resorting to putting my hat back on to escape the paparazzi!

The perfect tree! I was "fluffing" the branches as I told Mama and Dada. They said tomorrow when the branches fall we can decorate it! Hurray!

Snuggling with Mama

Who doesn't enjoy a little morning snuggle with their Mama?

Happy Turkey Day!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I had a great day hanging out with family.

Who wants turkey? (Despite raising my hand I only ate one bite)

My yummy dessert!

This is what happens when everyone turns their back and Hunter decides that he is going to try to lick/steal all the dishes from the dishwasher!

Snuggling with Uncle Michael after a yummy meal.

A Tisket, A Tasket

Georgia's in a basket! This is my new favorite place to hang out.
