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.
I haven’t been keeping up with the blog the last few months, so here’s a quick update with what Liam and I did in November.
I spent the night with Gram and Papa and love playing with Mommy and Aunt Stacey’s old dolls in the basement!
Grandma Sue and Grandpa came to play at my house with Liam and I.
When I spend the night at Gram and Papa’s I get to do a lot of fun stuff. Eat peanut butter on celery (really I just lick the peanut butter out and get it on my face) and play in my little house out in the back yard.
Mommy loves decorating for Christmas early so we can enjoy it for a long time. I liked helping decorate the tree and Liam looks like a decoration. Gram also came over to help us. We had fun waving at the Santa as he went around and around in his hot-air balloon.
I have had so much fun being a big sister - I love Liam!
Gram gave Liam his orange “Broncos” hat and since Daddy wasn’t home to protest, Mommy said it was ok for Liam to wear it. Besides, it matches the Bronco’s onesie. Liam looks traitorously cute.
We went to Kansas City and Springfield for Thanksgiving. While we were in KC we went to Crown Center with Alyssa. We had so much fun in the Crayola play-land before I got my first picture taken with Santa. Then we went to lunch at a train restaurant and Liam wore a conductor hat with his train shirt (how fitting). They also had a beautiful gingerbread house display with a train that Nanny showed me.
We spent the night at Alyssa’s house took some pictures in matching jammies. I had fun eating pancakes and playing with Alyssa!!
When we got home to Colorado, Grandpa Jim was still in town and we went out to dinner with him. He had never met Liam, they seemed to get along well. I showed him my purple Rabbit coat. I was really glad to see Aunt Stacey - I gave lots of hugs.
November was a fun month!
Today was like most other Sundays. We went to Gram and Papa’s house to watch the Chiefs. Liam and I tried out my new recliner.
Liam took a nap instead of watching the game, but Daddy loved holding him.
I made lunch for Aunt Stacey with my food and I got out my stickers. Good times.
This year I was an Elephant for Halloween! Daddy and Mommy took me to Boo at the Zoo. I love to see the elephants.
Liam didn’t really dress up, but he came too.
We got to see the penguins.
I said “cheese” for the camera in front of the flamingos.
Liam is too little to smile on command, but I told him all about the “mingos.”
I had fun seeing all the kids a the seal exhibit.
The seals were flying right by me in the window. The Zoo is one of my favorite things.
I love to eat cheerios and milk for breakfast! My new bib with a pocket really helps when I spill the milk a little bit.
It was a cold day today and I wore my new coat to lunch with Uncle Buddy, Aunt Jackee, Aunt Stacey and Mommy. We went to a Mexican restaurant and I ate bee-bo (bean burrito) – YUMMY!
I really mean visit the zoo, but whatever. I got to go to the zoo today with Alyssa, my cousin from MO.
She and her parents were out here for a meeting about camp and we had fun together with our parents at the Denver Zoo.
We rode a little train with our Daddies and played on a covered wagon.
I wore my zoo hat, which is the only time I will wear a hat. In the parking lot when we were done I played in all the leaves.
It was a good day.
Today Mommy got home from a trip to Kansas City with Liam and it is her birthday. We stopped by a grocery store and got Mommy a birthday cake. She shared it with me at lunch!
Needless to say, I had a lot of fun with the chocolate icing. I got so messy that I had to clean off in the sink.
That was fun too though!
Liam celebrated Mommy’s birthday too, but he was a little less messy. He made a happy birthday face!
