Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! It was a wonderful day....here are a few pics from my activities!
The tree was stocked! I had presents from Santa that were delivered in a sleigh...
I got up a little bit before 7 this morning. I was excited to run downstairs and check on the cookies I had left for Santa. It looked like the reindeer liked my carrot too!
I had presents to open from Aunt Coco and Chase too! I got a great book and board game and more!
Coco also sent me a Rapunzel set, complete with crown, purse and necklace!
Santa also brought me a Rapunzel doll and dress.
Here I am enjoying my new doll.....in a sled! Too bad there is no snow yet :)
Some of the aftermath!
Look at my new snow boots! !
Dress modeling, note the classy PJ pants and snow boots.
More dress modeling...
Rapunzel has a beautiful crown.
I made a great present for Dad!
I was waiting at the airport for Grandpa and Grandma tonight! I talked Grandma's ear off the whole ride home. I can't wait for it to be Christmas again tomorrow!!

Merry Christmas (Eve)!!

Well, it's been a busy month....as December tends to be! I've had a great time seeing friends and family and spending lots of time with Mom and Dad. I really love baking cookies for my friends and myself! I LOVE to lick the spoon :)
Last weekend I got to get all dressed up for the Roberts Christmas party. I really liked my fuzzy dress and fancy shoes.
Yeah, a good family picture! Thanks Kevin!
There were a lot of friends at the party. Chelsea is 3 months old already and did really well hanging out all night.
Here's the gang of younger kids.....Matthew, Lindsey, myself and Madeline!
The kids were fueled by snack foods! Lindsey and I were loving cake pops made by Lori. Of course, Lindsey was all silly faces!
The next day, on Sunday, we met the Roberts for some zoo lights. You'll have to trust me, it was beautiful even if I don't have the pics to prove it! I was all bundled up in my big coat, gloves, and fuzzy blanket as Mom and Dad strollered me around. I really liked the big blue tree and the singing lights.
Today is Christmas Eve and the family got all dressed up to go to church.
Me with Dad and Obi. The Christmas service invited the kids up to the front for the Christmas story. I really enjoyed the angels and singing happy birthday to Jesus. I made it through the entire Mass, only some minor fidgeting!
I also got to stop by the Lourdes campus today and see the creche. We didn't stay long to look at it, too cold!
I got a plate of cookies and milk for Santa and a carrot for the reindeer. I can't wait for him to come!
Mom and Dad let me open my stocking tonight. It will hold me over until Christmas presents in the morning!!!
M&Ms!
A Clifford animal....then it was time for a bedtime story and sleep! Santa will be here in no time!!!

Florida!

I went on a family vacation with Mom and Dad to Florida from November 11th to November 18th! We went down to Orlando to see the sights and hang out with the Daniels.
This was the first flight that I had a seat of my own! I had a great time and it was a short enough flight that I didn't get bored.
I even had a time to sneak a quick cat nap.
I got to sit in the window seat too!
Florida weather is different than Ohio weather. I had a chance on the first day there to go to the playground.....and wear shorts and a t shirt!
That Sunday we went to Sea World. We got there when the park opened and stayed until it closed. I got to see almost all of the animal shows that day.
The big Shamu show was fun to watch.
But the people around us we watching me and Parker!
Sea World had some fun rides for kids too.
Dad was happy that I found a manatee to ride.
Strangely enough, even with the 80 degree weather they were decorated for Christmas and playing Christmas music!
I had reached a point at the end of the day when I was really tired! I won an otter at the games and Parker had a giant penguin pirate.
Believe it or not, I also went on this tall ride! I am getting quite adventurous!
More Christmas decorations, and a rare group shot!
The following day we went to Universal's Islands of Adventure. The big attraction there was Harry Potter. Here I am with Amy, Parker, and Dad in front of the Hogwart's Train.
There was a huge Dr. Seuss area too. Parker really liked the Cat and the Hat, but I wasn't so sure.
The Suessical Carousel was lots of fun! I rode a Horton hears a Who elephant...
There was even a One Fish, Two Fish ride and it was plenty wet to cool us off.
I got a magic wand and here I am showing it off in front of the Harry Potter Castle.
Amy is showing off her wand and Matt is enjoying some Butter Beer.
It was a very long day......here Parker and I are leaving Universal.
I had a chance to go to the library with Parker and they had a play fire truck.
The local zoo let us feed giraffes crackers. They were very close to us!
Giraffes have long sticky tongues!
Thing 1 and Thing 2!
Parker's apartment complex had a nice pool. And even though it wasn't as warm that day, Dad took me for a swim. Here I am practicing my laps.
Parker was a daredevil and liked jumping off the edge. She was a good instructor. It was a great week full of fun and friends!!
