First Christmas Celebration

So when you have a large family one of many perks is that you get to have several celebrations - this past weekend we had our first Christmas party. We celebrated at Grandpa & NCB's house with Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Bob. I had a fantastic time (despite still having a cold) and we stayed overnight which was terrific because when I woke up I got to see everyone all over again! J

Fun at Sean and Vic's

I always have such a good time hanging out with my Godparents!!

Pushing Through My First Cold

It happened, I got my first cold my nose is all stuffy and my eyes are watery but instead of cuddling and sleeping more like my parents thought I would - I am trying to push through it by playing hard. Here is a really neat stationary jumper they got for me. I just sit in it right now but soon I will probably be a jump'n fool! 

Last December & This December

Last December this was me 

Here is what I look like now 

Boy, what a difference a year makes!

Tickle Me Jake

Forget about "Tickle me Elmo" and go with Tickle me Jake instead, seriously my belly is crazy ticklish!!

Winter @ The Arboretum

We had the best time at the Arboretum on Saturday there were lots of pretty decorations, huge trees (one tree, pictured above, was even decorated as the Polar Express our favorite book right now!), about a million lights, holiday smells of pine and cinnamon, a choir singing Christmas carols, and even Santa Claus was there - it was amazing I had a really good time! 

I also got to see the pottery studio in Minneapolis, have a visit with Vic-Vic & Sean, go to St. Nicholas Church, and stay in a hotel for the weekend with my parents and my Grandma. I was a big hit every where we went and it was fun meeting new people - I gave em lots of smiles!    

First Snow on December 1st

I woke up to my first snowfall today! I didn't get to see it coming down but there it was never-the-less. Mama said there is a lot more to come - I can't wait! Then we put the first ornament on the Christmas Countdown Tree (an angel). After that Grandma came over to watch me and Eddie while my parents worked. I had a great day!
