christmas tree hunting!
this was my first year helping to pick out a christmas tree! it was a fun experience!
entering santa village...
i went to visit santa for the very first time! i love reading about santa and pointing him out! i was not happy sitting on mommies lap next to him though! i cried until they finished taking our picture (sorry i only have hard copies of those photos)!
being silly in my bathrobe!
wheeee!!
i was so pleased with myself on the carousel with daddy! i was waving at everyone and smiling! it was lots of fun!
hanging out with daddy...
i got to watch the colts game and learn how to play pool all on the same day! it is fun to hang out with daddy!
tender moments
i like it when boppa rubs my head...it puts me in a trance.

mai mai helped me frost my first cut-out cookie! i even helped cut them out of the dough the day before! i was really good at it!
a star is born!
i got to stay up late and decorate some more cookies with the entire family! i won the decorating contest this year! i liked eating the frosting off of the cookie and the sprinkles too...but didn't actually eat much of the cookie itself!
christmas eve 2009
i love all the christmas decorations, songs, etc. frosty the snowman (or "noman" as i say) is my new favorite song. and i love to point out santa and frosty when i see them! and, i even got to go get my toenails painted red at the nail salon for the holidays!
my favorite person...mommy!
i am very partial to my mommy. mommy is also my favorite word...i can't even count how many times a day i say it!
my first present!
i was actually able to open up one present on christmas eve! thanks aunt she she and uncle mark for the horsey!
is this for me?
i was a great elf! i delieverd all of the gifts to everyone. however, i wanted things to be fair so if someone didn't have a gift in awhile i would take a gift to them anyway...even if the name tag said it was for someone else!
merry christmas!
photo opp. with boppa and mai mai!
wheeee!!
taking a break!
this is hard work. i don't have it completely figured out yet but i will keep practicing so i can balance better!
family walk on christmas day!
i got to ride in my wagon and go for a walk! it was a beautiful day out! i love fresh air!
"mommy...more steps..."
i could have played on the steps the entire playdate. i liked going up and down numerous times!
friends forever...

bundled up!
i was so cozy and warm that i fell asleep while mommy was running and pushing me in the stroller! she says it is a lot harder to run these days since i'm no longer 10 lbs.!
a tree on our car?
i was a bit confused as to why the tree had to go on top of mommy's car. but i love looking at the tree at our house now with all the lights on it!
christmas season 2009
i am 22.5 months old. i'm posing next to the christmas tree and boppa and mai mai's house in my christmas dress!
this is the way out of santa's village!!
i didn't like santa in person...oh well, maybe next year!
zoolights at the phoenix zoo
i got to stay up past my bedtime and go to the zoo to see zoolights! it was amazing! and the entire family went so it was even better! i was aunt she she's buddy while we were there as i wanted to hold only her hand while we walked around!
cracking myself up!
i am really good at being silly and making myself laugh! i like to make funny faces, funny noises, dance silly and run around being crazy!
my first baking lesson...
mommy bakes a lot at the holiday time (she learned this from her mommy) so now i am learning too! i got to help stir some dough and hand mommy the next ingredient! i like to bake!
