Christmas with Mom and Dad, 12/25

Mommy had to work on Christmas day so we celebrated after we got home from Grandpa Len's. Notice that Mommy and Daddy are already in their PJ's and I have to wear another Christmas dress!

Christmas with the Dahling's, 12/24

We spent Christmas Eve with the Dahling side. Santa even made a special visit to all of the kids, and some adults too. Of course I was scared of him because Mommy had traumatized me the week earlier! I didn't want to even get near him! Even when he gave me my gift I was a little scared to open it! But by the end of the night I think a great time had been had by all!




































Dylan and Gavin were good helpers.

Tea Time, 12/20

Avy gave me a pretty tea set for Christmas. While Daddy was watching football I served him a special cup of tea!

Sledding II

Sledding, 12/20

We finally had a "warm" day so Mommy took me outside for some sledding. Last year at Uncle Rogers I didn't like it too much. So here we go again! This time I loved it. Mommy pulled me around the yard while I dragged my mittens in the snow. Finally, Daddy joined us and he pushed me down a small hill!





































































Here I come!

Christmas with the Lodermeier's, 12/19

The first Christmas of the year was at Grandma and Grandpa Lodermeier's. Avy and I had special matching dresses. All the kiddos were so well behaved! We all helped each other open presents and we all shared them afterwards. I was so excited I stayed up until 11:30! Thanks for all the gifts everybody!

Coloring, 12/14

Here I am making some more masterpieces with Daddy! I come home every day with a picture that I made at daycare. Here we are coloring before dinner!

Snow Day! 12/9

It snowed so much in one day we got trapped in the house! Mommy even had to call work and say she couldn't get there! So we stayed home! We hung out in our jammies, watched videos and napped together. Grandpa came at 8:00 that night to plow us out. Boy it go to be a long day. Mommy was sure to make it into work the next day!

Ready to plow the driveway the day after the storm!

Little Artist, 12/6

I love to color! I even put Mommy's winter hat on to complete my artist look! You will have to come visit to see some of my work!

This and That, 12/6

Like Father Like Daughter, 12/5

Mommy thinks it is silly for Daddy to drink his milk out of the cereal bowl. Mommy thinks I have seen Daddy do it a few times when she is not home, so I decided to give it a try. I am actually getting pretty good at it, despite the puddle of milk on the table. We'll see in a few years who I really take after, cheap Daddy or Mommy and her affinity for the finer things!

Satsumas, 12/3

Grandpa grows some wonderful oranges called satsumas in his backyard. He brought me a big bag when he came up for Thanksgiving. They did not last long because I averaged about three per meal. I am patiently waiting for a shipment, but I might have to wait until New Years!

YUM YUM!
