Christmas Time Is Here

This year I helped Mimi decorate the tree. It was fun to get out all the ornaments and hang them on the tree. I like putting several ornaments on the same branch.

I made this gingerbread house when my cousins were here. It was SO much fun! They took theirs back to Chelsea to display in one of the windows on Main Street.

It was so fun opening presents with everyone! We all got Chia Pets this year!!

But the very best thing was getting a brown package with MY NAME on it (& my cousins too). It was from my Auntie Julie -- 

It had LEGOS and Webkinz inside!! COOL!

Christmas is just the best.

Webkinz World

The best part about this Thanksgiving was my cousins showing up with their webkinz!

Everyone had a laptop and his or her pet(s).

We went to one another's houses and played in the arcade and everything! It was super fun.

My mom and auntie Jody even got in on the action. They each bought a webkin for themselves!

Disney Surprise!

I didn't know that my mom and dad had planned a Disney trip for our family until we were actually on our way!

We stayed at the All-Star Sports Resort on property. We had never stayed there before. It was AWESOME! They had a huge football field with larger-than-life X's and O's! I loved playing on it every morning and evening.

I am finally tall enough to ride ALL the rides in Disney! I did them all too with my dad. We especially liked the Rockin' Roller Coaster...

Splash Mountain (we didn't even get that wet!)...

Chester and Hester's Primeval Whirl...

And Space Mountain was my favorite. I must have ridden it 4 or 5 times! My mom didn't want to do the roller coasters with me, but she did do the Triceratops Spin. It was sorta fun.

In Epcot I stopped at every Kidcot station I could find. It was really fun to color my mask.

And we even got to have a Playhouse Disney Lunch! Even though it was really loud, I got to see some of my favorite characters: the Little Einsteins!

We had such a great trip! I can't wait to do it again sometime.

Happy Halloween!

I carved pumpkins with my Mimi this weekend.

I did NOT like the way it felt in there!

I cut out a spooky tree.

My momma did a hitch-hiking ghost (from the Haunted Mansion)

This year, I decided to go as Luke Skywalker for Halloween. It really bothered me that people kept calling me Luke. But I really love my costume.


We went to our friends' house and trick-or-treated with them. It was so much fun!

The Newport Aquarium

My friend Renee and I are both on Fall Break this weekend. So we took a road trip to the Newport Aquarium (near Cincinnati).



While we were there, we got to touch lots of different sea creatures. I really liked the starfish and the shark.


There we all these stations to do rubbings of sea creatures.



And then we got a special "behind-the-scenes" tour of the aquarium. Renee's dad has a friend who works there, so she showed us around. We saw otters eat meal worms....


and the water tanks. They were really loud!


Then, Crystal, (our guide) took us to visit some penguins, up close and personal! We even got to pet them!




Then we went and fed the Lorakeets. My momma got pooped on by TWO of them!



We had such a great time! I hope we get to go back again some day.

Ice Skating Party

My friend Becky invited me to her birthday party yesterday. It was a Skating Party! I had never been ice skating before. I was very excited, but when I actually got on the ice it just felt too slippery! After working really hard for 30 minutes, I started to get the hang of it! It was my daddy's first time skating too.



We had a tough time keeping our balance, but we only fell one time!



My momma really loves to ice skate. She hopes we can go again this winter.



After skating, we had pizza and cake! I loved hanging out with my friends Ander and Ben.

Shots of the Kids

Thought I'd share the layout of these photos....

Labor Day @ The Lake

My Great Garter came up to the lake this weekend! It was a fun time.



My cousins were there too! I couldn't wait to play with them.

Before...& After

This is me this summer; My daddy and mommy love my long hair (and so do I), but I hate to have to get it cut. I am always worried that it will hurt.



So I decided that if I went really short, I could wait a LONG time between hair cuts! This is me now.

Down the Shore!

We had a great time at the Eastern Shore! My cousins were there and we celebrated my birthday and Reese's birthday.



We fought the heat the old fashioned way -- with popsicles...



and ice cream!





Daddy and Granddaddy helped me climb the tree in the front yard.




I got to play at a new play ground.



And I ate crabs



I especially enjoyed bicycling down to the jetty to play in the sand and collect shells and sea glass.
