Stay-cation Week!

This week we had a "stay-cation" with Mommy!  It was such a blast!  We played and played and played, took long walks together, and just enjoyed each other!  We set up a train in the living room...

Choo Choo!  Watch out Cody!

Penny cleaned with her new broom...

We are busy getting ready for our trip to Orlando!

Same Dresses!

These dresses have been hanging in my closet for a LONG time now, and I've been begging Mommy to let us wear them!  Finally!  Finally, we got to wear them to Christmas dinner!  How cute are we?  We totally match Mommy and Aunty Katy in them (although we don't have the bangs they had)!

Christmas Day!

Merry Christmas!  We woke up Christmas morning, and there were so many surprises!  The stockings were filled, there were all kinds of presents under the tree, and Uncle Barry & Aunt Nancy were there!  So exciting!  We got busy unwrapping presents, and got so much cool stuff!  Then it was time for breakfast, yummy scones!  Cousin Erin came too, and we had a great time hanging out and playing!

We headed down to Marie & Olivier's house for Christmas dinner.  There were more presents to unwrap, and more fun to be had!  Their grandparents were visiting from France, and their local grandparents, and Aunt Beepers.  We had a great time!

Christmas Eve...

So the preparations are just about complete, we got ready for Santa tonight!  

We made reindeer food, which was pretzels, oats, and sprinkles.  

And we shook it all up...

Then we sprinkled it in the front yard so Santa's reindeer could munch while he stopped at our house!

We were invited to Abby & Logan's grandparents for Christmas Eve, which was super nice of them.  We love going there each year!  We ate yummy dinner, and dessert, and opened presents!

Abby got a Sleeping Beauty dress, just like my Cinderella dress!  (Thank you Grandma!)

Uncle Jason pulled up a map that showed us where Santa was during the night.  We saw him when he was in Florida, at Aunty Katy & Uncle Eddie's house!

Time to get home and to bed so Santa can come!

Bring On The Holidays...

Our holiday celebration weeks have begun!  This weekend Mommy & Daddy went to Daddy's firm's annual Christmas Party, which meant Penny and I had our first sleepover at a friend's house!  We slept over at Abby & Logan's!  We had a lot of fun, decorating gingerbread men and playing games.  Mommy and Daddy had a great time at the party with Daddy's coworkers.  I hear they even got to go wine tasting - whatever that is.

Sunday we headed out to Kristopher, Ella, & Charlotte's house for the holiday brunch.  We all exchanged presents, ate some yummy pancakes, and enjoyed spending time together!



Videos of Me!

I got this dog, Violet, from Sarah for my birthday, and I love her!

And here is a video of me working on walking!  

Penny Sees the Tree...

Penny woke up from her nap after we put the tree up, and here is the video from when she saw it for the first time!

Way To Go Daddy!

Daddy made Mommy a super cool birthday present!  Now we all know how much they like to watch cooking reality shows, like Top Chef, and how much they like to eat.  Oh, and how much Mommy loves to cook.  Well Daddy built Mommy something called a "sous vide" setup.  Not exactly sure what it is, but I heard it makes tasty stuff!  I can't wait to try something! 

Getting Ready For Santa!

We're decking the halls, trimming the tree, all that good stuff!  It all started with moving the bean bag over in the corner.  The doggies and I love it there!  We can look out the window!

Mommy, Daddy, and Big Sister put up and decorated our beautiful Christmas tree.  I love the lights! 

The finished decorations...our stockings hung with care, oh, and our bouncey donkey:) We're ready for you Santa!

Happy 6th Birthday Marie!

This weekend was Marie's birthday party at a place called Safari Run!  What a blast!  There was a giant climbing structure, super fast slides, and an arcade.  Mommy & Daddy even got to play!

Marie had a giant cookie for a cake!  Beepers made it, and it was tasty!

Then we went back to their house to hang out and celebrate some more.  Here we are playing Mouse Trap with their grandparents, Mami, Papy, and Nana.

And look, I wrote my name ALL BY MYSELF!  I surprised Mommy & Daddy with it!

'Tis The Season!

Had another fun weekend!  Aunt Annmarie & Uncle James came over with Connor & Katie, and we decorated gingerbread houses! 

Chag Samech! (Happy Chanukah!)

Tonight was the first night of Chanukah!  We celebrated by lighting candles!  I learned all about it!  Daddy even let me light them.  I took the first candle, and "put a little bit" on the other candle!  Then Daddy sang some songs and we let the candles burn down.  Super cool!  Abby & Logan even came to celebrate!

I even got to open some presents from Grandma Suzi & Grandpa Stan.  I got the coolest laser dreidel!  I took it to school for share day and everybody loved it!

And I got these cool hand puppet tattoos, love them!
