at my third gymnastics class. i was having so much fun on the bars! i did my first back hip pullover (with help of course)!
perfect 10!
after my back hip pullover i was able to hold myself up on the bars!
santa!!!
my picture with santa! jet, my doggy, was part of it too!
putting on some ornaments!
stockings!!
i'm on the "nice" list so far with santa! i hope he puts some presents in my stocking and under the tree!
santa's sleigh!!!
for some reason santa has parked his sleigh at our neighbor's house! i got to go sit in it with luci! we sat in the front seat, like santa, and in the back where the toys go!!
pretending that the reindeer are pulling us!
school christmas party!
me and my best friend, luci, at our school holiday party! we danced, sang christmas carols, and sat on santa's lap!!
happy girls!
decorating or eating?
i helped put icing on some of the cookies, in between eating even more of the cookies and icing too! i liked to dump as many sprinkles, etc. as i could on the cookies. mommy said it looked kind of gross but i thought it looked really pretty!
the herzog and black families!
from left to right (top row): daddy, mommy, nev, baby boy herzog, jet (bottom row): boppa, mai mai, aunt she she
hanging out with jet!
i don't know if you can tell, but my tongue is out like jet does a lot! i was pretending to be like her!
merry christmas!!!
last night for the advent calendar!
i knew that once we got to the 24th that santa would be coming the next day! i couldn't wait!! and i got to open 2 presents on christmas eve...new christmas pj's and the book, "twas the night before christmas" from boppa and mai mai. it has their voices recorded reading the book. i listened to it over and over and over and...
time for stockings!
we always open the gifts in our stockings first! i was very patient and waited to leave my room to see all of the goodies until aunt she she, boppa and mai mai came over that morning at 7am!!!
hee....hee... look at my stack of presents!
thank you to everyone for all of my wonderful presents...games, toys, books, clothes, candy!!!
where did i go?
i love to play hide-n-seek! since my stack of presents was so large it was easy to get lost in the stack!
daddy kisses...
out for a walk!
holding baby presley!
i got to hold a 10 day old baby, presley hansen! i was so excited! she is the little sister of my best friend, luci!
playing dress-up!
we had fun dressing up! i kept pretending to be a cheerleader too with the pom poms!
time for bed!
luci came over after school one day! she didn't spend the night (yet) but we did play and get ready for bed together!
wheeeeee!
i kept giggling and smiling after doing some flips on the bars!
this is easy...
i was a pro at climbing the ladder! dad was impressed with all i can do at gymnastics!
i pick this tree!
i picked our christmas tree, "all by myself!" i thought it was funny that they put the tree on top of mommy's car so we could take it home!
daddy's sweatshirt!
i was being silly and tried on daddy's sweatshirt! it was pretty big!
girls night in!
my bff, luci, got to come home with me after school on friday! i was so excited. and, the night before i got to go to the school holiday party with luci and her mom! what an exciting week!
ho ho ho!!!
all smiles!
santa (again)!
my second time to see santa! i still want books and toys from him! i actually saw santa one more time at the mall too! 3 times this year!

i was very helpful with all the baking this year! i helped make a few different types of cookies! we had our annual cookie decorating party! i am helping mai mai make some of the cookies here!
busy at work decorating cookies!
cookie of the year!
daddy won the award for "cookie of the year" this year! he modified one of the cookies to make my doggy, jet!
christmas eve 2010!
i wore my christmas dress for our fancy swedish dinner tonight!
santa came!
oh my goodness, look at all the presents. i knew santa would bring me something. i think half of the gifts under the tree were for me! hee...hee, i was a good girl this year!
helping deliver the gifts!
i was an excellent helper and sorted through the presents to make sure the correct person received it! or at least, most of the time i took the gift to the right person!
a game to play!!!
thanks uncle rob, aunt beth, mia and elle for my new game! i played it with mai mai, aunt she she and mommy on christmas day!
my new bike! thanks santa!
i got a hello kitty bike! it was a surprise from santa for being such a good girl. i worked really hard to use my manners, listen, etc. so he would bring me some presents! i love that i can take my baby doll for a ride too! i ride my bike almost every day now. i'm actually pretty good on it too. mommy and daddy were both surprised at how well i was doing.
visiting the dentist
i went to visit the dentist and hygentist with mommy so i'll be prepared in a few months when i go get my teeth cleaned!
excited to be a big sister soon!
i am excited to have a little brother in a few months! i got some practice holding presley!
