Christmas Time is officially my favorite time of year. I’m not sure if you know about it, but you start the day with presents from Santa under the tree. Look at the cool fairy wings and laundry set I got from him this year!


Next you get to have a big breakfast with family. Gram, Grandma Sue, Aunt Jackee, Mommy and Aunt Stacey worked hard all morning on it.

Then, you get to open presents for hours. Look at some of the great stuff I got. I was really excited about my little castle! I also got some more wings and granted many wishes!



Even Liam was excited, and he was just playing with Aunt Stacey’s bracelets!

I got to be such an expert at opening presents, I had to show Aunt Jackee and Uncle Chad how it was done!

Even Oreo got a Christmas present.

Daddy made another beautiful sweater this Christmas. This time it was for Nanny!

We had a great morning, all the girls got to take a picture in their matching Christmas pajamas.

What a fun morning with family!



My family, Mommy, Daddy, Me (Alice), Liam, Connie and Baby (the dolls).

I think I like this Christmas thing. In preparation for Christmas, I got into the spirit by wearing a Santa hat and Mommy’s red shoes.

I also got to make cookies with Daddy.


Once Christmas Eve finally got here, I got a very special visit. Santa, himself, stopped at my house early to give me a special Christmas gift. He told me that he only makes special stops for the most special boys and girls. That made me feel really happy.



The best part of Christmas was having so much of my family together. Nanny, Grandpa Tom, Uncle Ryan and Andrea came out from Missouri to celebrate with us. We all went out for Christmas Eve dinner together with the Beaches and Grandma Sue and Grandpa.




Having all the family together for a meal is fun, but I am a little young for a nice restaurant, especially when I don’t take a nap during the day!

Liam looked really dapper in his little hat. It is just like the one Daddy got from his Grandpa Bandy.

The best part of the party was getting all dressed up in my new dress that Papa picked out for me. I love Christmas!

We did a Christmas performance at school for our parents. We sang two little songs and looked really cute doing it.

Here I am with my Christmas bells.


All the kids in my class did a great job. It was hard to sing after naptime - we were all really tired, but I did my best.

Liam celebrated with me after school. He was proud of me doing such a great job! I guess this is his proud face.


The next day I got to do it all over again with my other friends.

Alice got to go to her first movie on December 2nd, Happy Feet! She went with Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Stacey, Aunt Jackee and Uncle Buddy. I had to stay home, while Alice got to pick out some candy from the store and got some popcorn. When I’m bigger, I’ll get to see movies too.


I did get to do something that the big kids do - I started eating some cereal, just like Alice. I love it and look pretty cute, even with cereal on my face.


One of my favorite things to do is hang out with Alice. Mommy says we’re never making nice faces for the camera at the same time. I think we always look pretty cute though.


Alice gets to spend the night with Gram and Papa and she is always having so much fun there. Someday I’ll get to spend the night someday too. (All I ever talk about is “someday” - sheesh!) Alice sure looks like she’s having fun shaving with Papa!

Alice loves to snuggle with me. She’s always telling me that she loves me “so much.” Mommy loves how sweet we are and she prays for us to be good friends all the time! I love my family.
